Topic
Who Own's Your Health Data?
Abstract
The Healthcare industry has been abuzz. From the recent data privacy concerns of Amazon's announcement, to the latest news about Apple allowing people to store their medical data on their phones, one thing is clear: there is a big shift in the way that health data is being managed and stored. Many people are not aware that our most important asset, our medical data, is scattered all over the place. Physicians, medical institutions, medical labs all have traces of our data. So, who really owns it and why is that important? Stanford Medicine X advocates that patients who have full access to their health data are more engaged and healthier. How do we take control over our medical data, then? The biggest obstacle remains our limited access to our own health records. My name is Raj Sharma and I founded Health Wizz to solve this problem and bring the locus of control back to the patient.
