Description
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.

Ratings and Reviews
High battery consumption
I initially enabled location tracking as I thought it would be useful to the researchers but have turned it off now because it used to much battery when tracking in the background. Most app developers who use location tracking solved this battery issue years ago.

Disappointed
I have been faithfully recording my health and symptoms since the beginning of the app.
Now I cannot get on to it as it does not respond to my log in and asks for my phone number it then tells me that my number has already been used! Yes by me! And so it goes round. I have tried logging out, deleting the app everything but to no avail. I am really disappointed as I felt I was doing my bit. The ironic part is that I keep getting emails reminding me to send my symptoms etc, with a link and the merry go round starts again!
Crashes randomly
Very hard to use the app as it randomly crashes during surveys.
