I see what your saying, it’s complicated. I guess I meant was actual diagnosis and results of tests etc… these things are secure. But the data metrics from wearables, voice data mining etc… this could be nightmarish. I may have mentioned this on the forum before- but a colleague of mine said she was talking to her friend about her migraine headache., well about an hour later she was hit with multiple ads for migraine medicine. This colleague had no idea what data mining and privacy was until that moment.
With that said- hospital and pharmacy prescription records are secure-- HIPPA can’t protect what we don’t keep private ourselves. The medical field is laden with regulation it’s hard to get previous records on patients even when they are desperately needed.
Scientifically speaking, no person can paint a medical picture from datamining. It can’t be proved in court, no real professional expert witness could prove it- they would lose their license. There are laws that protect people from insurance exclusion based on previous diagnosis too.
There is concern about the unknown- but actual real medical information will not be leaked out without consequences.
The medical field is very slow to adapt to technology- so when AI is used in medicine- it will be for the treatment of disease. The ethical and federal standards create firewalls- that are very hard to break down even with new discoveries.
