I was thinking if we had that data and perhaps we could all complete a really robust survey that includes things like the questions below. I can build the survey and make all captured data available here. The idea is to look for patterns that might give us clues as to what correlations we have with symptoms and lifestyle etc. I can make sure I dont capture PII data and that I dont retain data etc for GDPR or other privacy regulations. What do you all think of the idea? Any data scientists/analysts or researchers here, maybe we can collab? If anyone has any suggestions for questions that would be wonderful!
