Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create personalized risk models for high-performance pilots in the Italian Air Force, who are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. By analyzing biological samples, clinical records, and occupational data, the study employs omic-based approaches and artificial intelligence to identify significant biomarkers of health risks. The goal is to understand the mechanisms behind various diseases and apply early, personalized preventive measures to enhance the health and performance of these pilots. The findings may also be applicable to civilian populations and other patient cohorts.
