Henry Ford Health Helps Advance Precision Medicine Research in Michigan
Longstanding partnership with the National Institutes of Health expands Michigan's participation in the All of Us Research Program
What is the All of Us Research Program?At the moment, health care is often one-size-fits-all. But imagine a future where your health treatments are tailored to you and your family. This is called precision medicine. And we can make that future possible.
By enrolling one million people – including children – who represent the many backgrounds across the United States, researchers will be able better understand what makes us sick and what keeps us healthy.
Children have not always been included in research. When families enroll their children in All of Us, they can help researchers understand how children change and develop over time. We hope to help researchers study children’s health in ways that have not been possible before, such as:
Now at Henry Ford Health, we are enrolling ages 0-4 and expanding to older ages in the near future.
To get started, you will need to enroll first.
After you consent to join All of Us, you can also enroll your child.

By joining the All of Us Research Program, you’re helping to build a one-of-a-kind data resource for researchers to use. What they discover could lead to better treatments and disease prevention strategies for everyone.
The Research Hub allows everyone to learn more about the types of data participants are providing and how approved researchers can use our data and tools to conduct studies that may speed up medical breakthroughs.
