You will need to demand your doctor/hospital participate in this and maybe in 10 years or so get some useful information.

The American Heart Association is teaming up with researchers from
the University of California-San Francisco to create a digitally based
research network to study heart disease and stroke.
The Health eHeart Study will use technology, such as smartphones and
computers, to track people’s health and habits over many years.. The
research is expected to provide information on what
causes cardiovascular disease and how to fight it.
The study has been positioned as a “digital Framingham” in the
footsteps of the renowned Framingham Heart Study, which launched in 1948
and continues to follow cardiovascular development over decades in
three generations of participants.
Researchers hope to sign up as many as 1 million people to
participate. Anyone can join the study, which is being featured in a
CNBC documentary airing tonight at 9 p.m. EDT.
