The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze vast amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Overall, the digital health space is rapidly evolving, and the integration of technology in health

Healthcare.Gov Insurance Exchange Allows 3rd Party Access to Your Data

Electronic Health Records are becoming the 'Black Hole" of  Digital Health IT.

Those who  know are warning what is coming and what is already happening.

 Ducknet, published by Barbara Duck,, a well known algorithm pundit warns us,

"There are a number of 3rd parties connected to the website (Health.gov) and they can mine and secure data just like any other website.  The data once secured can be queried and re-matched and sold.  This is a huge oversight from the government.  Here's a clip from one of the number of articles on the web on this topic... , MORE......

 "It works like this: When you apply for coverage on HealthCare.gov, dozens of data companies may be able to tell that you are on the site. Some can even glean details such as your age, income, ZIP code, whether you smoke or if you are pregnant. 

HealthCare.gov contains embedded connections to multiple data firms that the administration says generate analysis to improve the consumer experience. Officials say outside firms are barred  from using the data to further their own business interests." 

Do we know if these 3rd parties sell this information, of course not.  Breaking the law today with computerized algorithms is an area where law enforcement has been very weak as so many don't understand it.  Would it benefit HHS to know the license numbers (if this was in place) of those who sell data and connect to the Healthcare.Gov site?  You bet it would.
