Musculoskeletal health and wellness are areas which affect many individuals, but have not yet fully benefitted from broad genetics-based population screening. We plan to analyze a broad range of musculoskeletal disorders or injuries, risk factors to musculoskeletal disorders or injuries, along with wellness phenotypes which might impact overall health and risk or recovery from such disorders (e.g. sleep, exercise, mobility, pain management, exercise, occupational details, mental health and wellness, and nutrition). We are seeking to develop personalized wellness recommendations for individuals, informed by such analysis. We plan to develop population scores which can be used to inform individuals about what might work best to manage their health or recover from a musculoskeletal issue such as an injury. We also hope to find ways to encourage people to use this information to improve their health in other meaningful ways, including improving their sleep and other lifestyle habits.
