Please read more about the organization in the About Us section.
Everyone is invited to participate in the web based surveys or contribute research data. The data we collect is freely available for downloading. Individuals can query data to analyze it. Anyone is able to become a researcher, be they a doctor, academically affiliated, in the medical services field or the average Joe.
Researchers are invited to pose questions to be added to the database. The project will look to gather a very broad range of information.
As the database grows in it will become more difficult to deal with data. We will try to facilitate interaction between data organizing groups and researchers so data can be extracted and manipulated for easier study.
We seek funding through any source, including individuals, doctors, companies, research groups, and web advertisers. The funding will be used to maintain and improve the site and in the future fund research.
Some examples of the types of data gathered include:
General Health history - similar to the information you give the first time you go to a Dr.
Family medical history
Allergies
Weight lifting/exercise data - enter and track progress of body building exercises.
Hobbies or usual activities
Diet tracking
Work or stresses of daily life
