The program aims to create the most comprehensive multi-omic dataset that integrates clinical, lifestyle, and large-scale biological data over time, laying the foundation for novel diagnostics and therapeutics development. Gali Health will leverage state-of-the-art technologies for monitoring participants’ health, sample biobanking, and generating multidimensional sequencing data. This large-scale, longitudinal approach, which involves collecting thousands of samples and patient reported outcomes, provides an unprecedented granular view of individual clinical and molecular differences.
“A personalized medicine approach in oncology has led to the development of targeted therapies that have significantly improved outcomes for cancer patients, and the Gali Health team is uniquely positioned to drive research to advance similar efforts in the field of IBD,” says Mamatha Shekar, Ph.D., the head of genome sciences at Gali Health.
As part of the program, at-home collection kits for stool and saliva samples are mailed to participants who also use the Gali mobile app to record continuous digital health and lifestyle data. Participants will receive personalized digital reports in the Gali app describing their study results.
In the future, the IBD Footprints Program will expand internationally and include collection of other types of biological data.
