What's the Sociome?
The “sociome” encompasses all the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age
that impact people’s health
There are parts of our lives that impact how healthy we are that don’t have to do with a medical chart – things
like where we live, how we think and act, how much money we have, our exposure to sunshine, noise, violence, and
more. The Sociome Data Commons is a breakthrough tool for scientists to analyze a lot of information to learn
what makes us healthy or sick – and the datasets even include hyperlocal information, like neighborhoods, that
other tools haven’t been able to capture.
