Think your privacy is already invaded..?
Just think what it will be like to have Uncle Sugar know your blood pressure, etc., in REAL TIME, 24/7.
But I’m SURE there will be ALL SORTS of protections against releasing your medical data....RIGHT...?
Right...?
Riiggghhttt
IBM should use ID files like in lotus notes that corrupt at random and are essentially unreadable.
Yeah, I just don’t trust gubmint or big business. Why do they deserve it? They dont.
You gotta be kidding ... I look on the Medicare website and they already have my medical stuff. All my insurance claims are there. And those claims have been there for a long time before now on their computers ... long before “I” had access to it from the outside. This was all on their computer systems when I only received “paper” from them.
Then, I go to the doctor’s portal for my information and I now have access to it, whereas I didn’t have access to it before. And that “before time” when all I could get from the doctor was “paper” ... his office ALREADY had it on their computer system. It was ONLY ME who didn’t have it on a computer system ... :-) ...
I go down to Walgreens and I get prescriptions ... and in the past Walgreens had those prescriptions on their computer system. I didn’t have them, and I would play HECK in trying to get that information. So, they could “look it up for me” on their computer system, but I didn’t have it (unless I manually recorded it all myself and on my own). NOW ... Walgreens let’s me get access to their computer system and see all those prescriptions. I NOW get the same access Walgreens had for a decade or more BEFORE me!
AND THEN, those prescriptions run through the insurance company, which Medicare has access to. I can ALSO go to the insurance company and get access to their computer data that they have had ALL ALONG ... long before I could ever “call it up” on their computer system (which I can do now).
The ONLY ONES who DID NOT HAVE ACCESS to that information in the past were the PATIENTS themselves!! ... LOL ...
Why don't you read up on HealthKit's purpose and how it works before you show your off your abysmal ignorance. . . instead of trying to make snarky points that are meaningless if you knew what you were talking about. Right?
