DISCOVER ME

What is the Discover Me study?

healthcare

By collecting health and genetic information on thousands of people, Discover Me aims to help us find out why diseases may affect some people more than others. This could help transform healthcare.

As part of Discover Me, you can learn more about your own health, supporting you and your doctor to make better decisions about your health and care.

HEALTH & GENETICS

Why study health and genetic information together?

Genetic information is the information held in our DNA that is inherited across generations. By connecting this to information on health, we can study diseases and conditions in much more detail than if we only looked at health or genetic information alone. This provides us opportunities to better understand disease, including:

  • Why some diseases affect some people more than others
  • Why disease progresses differently in different people
  • How to better prevent, manage and diagnose diseases

Discover Me South Africa

Omnigen is committed to building a discovery science program that is globally representative—enabling discovery, supporting communities, and building research capacity.

In collaboration with the University of KwaZulu-Natal and Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital, the Discover Me South Africa study aims to recruit up to 100,000 individuals, and integrate their electronic health record and genetic data to help understand disease risk and progression, and improve patient care and management. All participants will receive access to their health data.
