By sharing your health data with researchers through the Everyone Registry, you can help unlock new treatments, discover insights into how conditions are managed, and accelerate progress toward better care for everyone.

Your health data is powerful.

By sharing your health data with researchers, you can help unlock new treatments, discover insights into how conditions are managed, and accelerate progress toward better care for everyone.

You make this possible.

The information you choose to share—like your daily experiences, health history, and wearable data—helps create a richer, more complete picture of health than researchers have ever had before.

Through the Evidation Community, we have an incredible opportunity to build one of the largest and most complete views of real-world health. These insights are essential to driving meaningful scientific breakthroughs across many conditions that may affect you or your loved ones.

You are always in control.

You decide what data to share, and you can change your choices at any time. Your privacy is our priority. You can participate from anywhere in the U.S., whenever it works best for you.

The data you share is coded before it’s shared with research partners. This means your name, email, and other personal details are removed—so researchers never see information that identifies you directly.

Your time and participation is valuable.

Because your contributions matter, we provide fair compensation that reflects your participation in this research. Whenever possible, we’ll also share back insights from this research with you and other participants.

Join us in shaping the future of health by becoming part of the Evidation Everyone Research Registry. Together, we can turn personal experiences into discoveries that improve lives worldwide.

Clinical research vs. medical studies: what's the difference?

Sometimes, the terms clinical research and medical studies are used interchangeably. While both terms fall under the umbrella of health research, they have different meanings and purposes.

Clinical research works to explore new treatments, interventions, and medical devices. Often, clinical trials require human participants to determine the safety and side effects of potential new treatments. Generally, clinical research has a narrow focus, such as exploring a single new treatment for a disease. This type of research works to advance the scientific understanding of and treatment for specific diseases.

Medical studies, in contrast, encompass all studies in the field of medicine (including clinical research). Basic science research, clinical research, epidemiological studies, genetic research, and analysis of public health trends all fall into the medical studies category.

Medical research with Evidation

At Evidation, we're committed to contributing to medical research, and we're proud that more than one million Evidation Members have participated in studies that contribute to the future of medicine. In 2024, Evidation Members completed 4.5 million research surveys, and thousands participated in medical studies including FluSmart2024, MigraineSmart, and the BARDA Study, a large-scale study designed to explore whether wearable devices can predict the presence of the flu.

There are many ways to contribute to medical research with Evidation, including choosing to share the health data that you're already tracking with our team. Many of our members also agree to join health studies run through our platform.

Here's how it works:

• Step one: determine eligibility . After you download the Evidation app, you'll notice opportunities to participate in health studies or programs. When you indicate your interest in joining a health study or research program with Evidation, we'll ask you questions about your habits and health conditions to determine whether you might be a candidate to participate. Sometimes, the information you provide will be enough to determine whether you're a good candidate for a study. Other times, more information might be needed (such as lab work) to determine whether you fit the profile researchers need.
• Step two: learn about the study. If you're determined eligible and are asked to participate in the study, you'll be presented with the opportunity to learn more. It's important to us to provide you with all the information you need to ensure that you feel comfortable participating. The Evidation team is always here to answer your questions at each step of the process.
• Step three: participate. You don't need to travel to participate in health studies with Evidation. Most of the studies we offer don't require you to use devices beyond your phone. In the event that you do need to use an activity tracker, smart scale, or other device, we'll send it to your door free of charge.

Why participation matters

When you participate in medical studies, you aren't just getting to learn more about your own health—you’re also doing your part to support the health of others. Clinical trials and other forms of medical research can explore how different variables affect various facets of health. The information you provide by participating in health research can help to improve the quality of life of others, as well as provide you with insight into how your actions affect your own well-being.
