The Healthy Citizen project has been developed by Conceptant and the FDA Office of the Health Informatics through an FDA Broad Agency Announcement. Healthy Citizen is a holistic, citizen-centric platform for FDA to collaborate and communicate with citizens to improve public health outcomes. It will empower patients to securely contribute their direct health experiences to FDA in a de-identified manner, receive timely, personally-relevant FDA alerts, and consent to participate in studies. It allows for citizens, research organizations and the FDA to communicate and collaborate in a single seamless environment.

 

Healthy Citizen is being developed as a platform to engage with citizens through their existing health provider organizations and technologies. Healthy Citizen will provide widgets that will reside on the health provider systems to allow for citizens and clinicians to interact with the Healthy Citizen platform while remaining in their trusted health provider solutions. 

 

Healthy Citizen includes a safe harbor research platform that will allow researchers to create patient driven data studies, analyze the de-identified patient data to create cohort pools, invite citizens to participate and send surveys to elicit participant inputs.
