UCSF Eureka Research

Eureka makes it easy to join real medical studies and help solve the world’s biggest health problems—including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, mental illness, healthcare inequities and more.

It’s now easier than ever to have a big impact on causes you care about . All it takes to contribute to world-changing research with Eureka is a smartphone and a little bit of free time.

Team up with millions of other study participants helping top researchers from research universities like UCSF, Harvard, and Johns Hopkins to answer questions like, “What signals from my smartphone might predict heart disease?” and “How does physical activity affect cancer risk?”

Eureka is a non-profit resource built by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco with support from the National Institutes of Health. If you have questions about signing up or your current participation, reach out to us at support@eurekaplatform.org.

For the studies that are on our app, we are not currently pulling HealthKit data but are collecting approval for future use. We use the CareKit framework in our application but do not connect to it in any other way.
