Posted: 3/24/2025 ()
The National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program has expanded its data available for research to now include information from more than 633,000 participants – a 50% increase from the previous release. These updates enhance the program’s vast and comprehensive dataset, one of the largest globally, to accelerate discoveries that will help tackle complex health challenges.
Updates include:
- The program’s genomic dataset has grown by nearly 70% to include whole genome sequences from more than 414,000 participants. Within this extensive collection, there are more than 1.2 billion genetic variants, including more than 200 million previously unreported genetic variants.
- The number of people with Fitbit data has quadrupled to include information from nearly 60,000 participants. This is the world’s largest publicly available Fitbit dataset, already driving insights on lowering risk for chronic diseases.
- New mental health survey data from 110,000 participants and cognitive task data from 36,000 is also now available to advance and improve how mental disorders are defined, diagnosed, and treated.
The All of Us Researcher Workbench is America’s health research platform, currently powering more than 16,000 studies with tools to support transparent and reproducible science. In total, more than 16,000 researchers from all 50 states and more than 1,100 organizations worldwide are registered to use All of Us data.
