FAIRFAX, Va., Jan. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vibrent Health, a health technology startup powering the future of precision health research, today announced that the company's Digital Health Solutions Platform (DHS Platform) will support the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Common Fund's Nutrition for Precision Health, powered by the All of Us Research Program (NPH).The NPH willexplore the dietary health of All of Us participants to inform the development of evidence-based, personalized nutrition recommendations. The NIH is awarding $170 million over five years, pending the availability of funds, to clinics and centers across the country to conduct the study.

The NPH program will build on recent advances in biomedical science including artificial intelligence (AI), genetics and microbiome research and will be the first ancillary study to leverage thelarge and diverse All of Us cohort and its existing data and infrastructure. The NPH program will add valuable data about the dietary habits of participants to the All of Us Research Program and use modern data mining techniques to develop and validate algorithms for clinical application.

"Our technology and expertise enable the NPH and the All of Us Research Program's nationwide network of health research partners to recruit, electronically consent, engage and support the diverse participants of the precision nutrition cohort," said Vibrent Health CEO Praduman "PJ" Jain.
