Abstract
South Asians experience disproportionately elevated cardiometabolic disease risk yet remain underrepresented in genomic research. The OurHealth Study builds a digital biobank of US South Asian adults, integrating remote surveys, mailed biospecimens for sequencing, and electronic health record sharing to identify genetic and non-genetic drivers of cardiometabolic disease. By pairing remote participation with culturally tailored outreach, OurHealth enhances accessibility, supports granular phenotyping, and addresses logistical barriers to genomic research inclusion.
