Until now, our health decisions have been based on information we receive from research and from clinical tests. The work of the Center bridges the gap between data collected in large studies, and data collected in clinics, by giving us personal data collected continuously in our homes, comparing it to previous personal data, and alerting us early to important changes. In other words, soon we will be empowered with personal health information to support more informed medical decision-making.
