Join us on a journey to better understand health and prevent disease.

We used to think the world was flat, until teams of pioneers discovered new lands and pushed the boundaries of knowledge. We're at a similar turning point with health and disease: we now have the advanced tools and technologies to explore health in greater depth and detail than previously imaginable.

Project Baseline is the quest to collect comprehensive health data and use it as a map and compass, pointing the way to disease prevention.

The mission of Project Baseline will take years to achieve. Here it is in a minute.

It begins with you.

The first initiative of Project Baseline is a study led by Verily, Duke University School of Medicine, Stanford Medicine, and Google. We are seeking around 10,000 people to represent different ages, backgrounds, and medical histories on behalf of humanity over four years. Starting in the US, if you are at least 18 years old, you may be eligible to:

Your impact

Illness and disease affect us all and often leave us feeling helpless. This is an opportunity to take action and shape the future of healthcare no matter who you are or what your background is.

When you join Project Baseline, you're not just participating in research. You have something to offer that no one else can: your unique history, genetics, and way of life. Every data point, every survey answer, and every health test is a way to stake your claim in the map of human health and leave a lasting contribution.

Together, we'll explore new frontiers of science and push the limits of how humanity understands and treats disease.

It feels good to do good. Plus, you'll receive:

Certain health data and test results to share with your doctor

Compensation for your time and perks for your involvement

Regular updates on our progress and early insights into discoveries

Exclusive access to the Baseline community and events

There are many signals coming from the human body that have been previously inaccessible. With advanced sensors, tools, and data analytics, we have the opportunity to access and organize these signals—creating a comprehensive map of health that can better predict and prevent disease.

Most of what we see as treating physicians are snapshots in time after people are already ill. By focusing on health and wellness, we can have a meaningful impact on the well-being of patients around the world.

The annual physical exam, aimed at detecting major problems, has been largely unchanged for years and is very limited in preventing future health problems. We’re hoping to shift the paradigm to truly deliver preventive, personalized care.

"We have seen huge strides in cardiovascular disease research by better understanding specific disease patterns, causes, and effects in defined populations over time. The Project Baseline study has the opportunity to significantly influence our current body of knowledge by better understanding the indicators of wellness. The outcome of this study could inspire a new generation of tools that are geared towards disease prevention versus just diagnosis and treatment."
