Direct to Patient Minimal Risk Biospecimen and Data Collection Research

Joined Bio - JB-MR-250225, Direct to Patient Minimal Risk Research

This study aims to help researchers better understand health conditions and develop improved tests, treatments, and cures for diseases. Joined Bio collects health data, lifestyle information, biological samples, and feedback from participants and provides this to qualified research partners.

Primary: The primary objective of this study is to connect participants with specific health profiles, along with biospecimens and associated de-identified health data, to scientific researchers who are searching for new diagnostics and treatments for a wide array of conditions. This will accelerate medical discovery by connecting medical research with the power of patient participation.

Secondary: The secondary objective of this study is to allow participants with specific health profiles, along with their de-identified health data, to help further the cause of medicine generally through interviews, surveys, and other minimal risk research activities desired by life science organizations.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male or female, that are adults [have reached the Age of Majority = aged 18 to 90 in most US states; aged 19-90 in Alabama or Nebraska; aged 21-90 in Mississippi or Puerto Rico].

• Be willing to comply with all study procedures and be available for the duration of the study.
• Meets requirements of a current request for research participation (e.g. has previous diagnosis of a medical condition of interest or laboratory results within a specific range).
• Pregnant women may be enrolled in this study in accordance with 45 CFR Part 46 Subpart B.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unable to meet the Inclusion Criteria listed above.
• Prisoners or children
• Unable to provide the requested biospecimen(s), data or feedback without placing the individual at risk.
