The UK’s largest ever health research programme is heading towards 2 million participants
August 13th 2024
‘Our Future Health’, the UK’s largest ever health research programme has recently added another half a million participants. The programme is designed to help people live healthier lives for longer through the discovery and testing of more effective approaches to prevention, earlier detection and treatment of diseases.
Volunteers from all backgrounds and from right across the UK have provided information about their health and lifestyles to create an incredibly detailed picture that represents the whole of the UK.
The aim is to provide a more detailed understanding of what makes people more likely to develop a disease, plus what to look out for before any symptoms appear.
As of the 10th of August 2024, 1,764,049 people were already taking part in what also must be a huge opportunity for life science companies to utilise the data for their respective new product development programmes.
