About us

We're creating new ways to measure and improve health in everyday life

Everyday health data, studied rigorously, is a powerful new lens on health. When people generate and control that data, it can drive discoveries and become tools they use to take charge of their own health.

Evidation members in everyday life

Our story

What happens at the doctor's office makes up a tiny fraction of our lives, yet it informs most healthcare decisions. Evidation was founded in 2012 on the belief that a direct connection with people and their everyday health data can unlock a deeper understanding of health and disease.

Speed to discovery

We quickly connect individuals and organizations to power novel research and health programs.

Digital measures expertise

We develop digital measures that capture health in everyday life and prompt healthy action.

Rewarding participation

Members are rewarded for engaging with their health. They took 951 billion steps in 2021 alone.

Research we're proud of

A few of the programs that show what everyday health data can do.

Johnson & Johnson · Cardiology

Earlier AFib detection to reduce stroke risk

The Heartline Study assesses whether an iPhone app and Apple Watch features can improve outcomes through earlier detection of atrial fibrillation, integrating Medicare claims, HealthKit, and ePRO data.

USC & RAND · Population health

American Life in Real-Time

The first large-scale, nationally representative digital health dataset, built as a public benchmark for equitable precision health.

4YouandMe · Women's health

De-identification

Datasets are de-identified before delivery, matched to each study's privacy requirements.

Linkage

With permission, wearable and survey data link to EHR, claims, lab, and biosample data.

Provenance

Source, device, and date metadata make every analysis traceable and reproducible.

Data & AI rights

Licenses define permitted uses, including analytics, publication, and AI model training.

21 CFR Part 11-compliant systems · HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA privacy compliance · ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and Cyber Essentials Plus certified security
