The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has granted 4YouandMe funding to design, oversee, and execute a co-developed digital health study via partnership among 4YouandMe and five rare disease patient organizations, creating open-source, personalized symptom tracking and transmitting smartphone apps for these rare disease communities.

Oxford University Hospitals and Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trusts have provided matched funding to help support a pilot study: Stress in Cardiovascular disease that is a partnership between 4YouandMe, the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the John Radcliffe Hospital and Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford. This study aims to test the feasibility of tracking stress and recovery post a myocardial infarction in patients using passive and active sensing from a smartphone app and wearable devices.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation provided 4YouandMe $276,500 to co-fund the stress and recovery in frontline healthcare COVID-19 workers study. The Stress & Recovery study aims to see whether stress and its recovery affects the risks relating to working with COVID-19 patients. We hope to develop methods to reduce healthcare workers’ stress recovery and reduce their susceptibility to becoming ill.

Sloane Robinson granted 4YouandMe funding for a study on student stress which includes the development and use of an open-source smart wristwatch. The goal of the study is to help students monitor their physiological signals and monitor their own sleep, mood, and stress levels with the aim of helping students maintain good mental health during a crucial period of transition into university and their adult years.

The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research announced funding for proposals intended to harness revolutions in machine learning for cancer research. 4YouandMe is one of eight projects granted funding to study wearables in the early detection of central nervous system (CNS) tumors.

The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research has granted funding for a 4YouandMe collaboration with Jim Heath using blood biomarkers to aid app-based cancer monitoring.

The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust announced a $1.7 million grant to 4YouandMe to explore how tracking stress could predict symptoms of Crohn’s disease.

The Medical Research Council selected 4YouandMe to convene a network of experts to submit a full proposal to be submitted by September, 2020. 4YouandMe proposed developing two digital health communities created by and for women to build knowledge, support, and empowerment during their menopausal transition.
