Do You Own Your Personal Health Data?
Every time you visit the doctor, heaps of personal health data are stored in electronic medical records, a mainstay of the modern health care industry. The rise of big data in healthcare comes with risks, however. Health data is now being sold to external companies and researchers. So, can you own your personal medical data? In this episode, Anand Shah (a former deputy FDA commissioner), Michael Abramoff (an ophthalmologist, AI pioneer, and entrepreneur), Cynthia Chauhan (a patient advocate), and Ari Waldman (an authority on the nexus of law and technology) offer perspectives and explain why this issue is more complicated than it seems.
