Which one of your identities will bail?![]()
I don't want to go down a rabbit hole, but I think medical health records are going to be a disaster. ALL data will be hacked. It just will.
In the U.S., my old boss is driving those and he's an awesome security guy and a practicing Internist. That's not to say implementations won't fail, but they won't be ones done according to his designs. But its also a fact that today people die due to the lack of digital availability in the health industry...which means it will be difficult to implement a solution that does both (secure data, and save lives). Institutions will always choose one over the other, or just put profit in front. While my mother was sick with stage 4 bladder cancer, even she couldn't get digital copies of her own records for her own use...that's just plain dumb. We couldn't, for example, use a private google search engine to see if her data contained things we could find researching the net...things that might have led to her being willing to take treatments. Instead, she took none, and lived 1.5 yrs after diagnosis.
We shouldn't forget that laws that apply to data that isn't digitized, automatically apply to data that is...
