The fact you are reading this tells me a few things about you. You’re obviously using the Internet, and you clicked onto this page because you are at least somewhat interested in health.

I hope you’re interested enough to make a few more clicks. Because that is all it takes for you to become part of a project that aims to be the largest population health research study ever undertaken. That’s right, by simply using your computer or mobile phone, you could be part of a new wave of era in clinical research… and if you use any wearable technology or other sensors, you can likely plug those in, too, which would help even more.

This potentially groundbreaking work is called the Health eHeart Study (say it fast and it sounds like « Healthy Heart » study), and the American Heart Association is working with investigators in several areas, including recruitment. Dr. Elliott Antman, the AHA president, considers it one of the most innovative he’s seen in his 30-year career.
