@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange @Npars01@mstdn.social Coming years? It is happening right now! The surest way I’ve found to get a doctor to pay attention to privacy concerns is to ask if the watch/recorder/whatever is on the other side is “HIPAA Compliant”. This is the law to protect the privacy of your health information. If they don’t know, ask for the contact info for their HIPAA Compliance Officer. Every company that touches private health information is required to have one. You might have to call the most senior person to find out. Why should they care? If they don’t give you this info and answer your questions, you can complain to US Health and Human Services (online form) and that can kick off an investigation that can get very serious. In addition to big $$ fines, a company (including universities) can lose ALL access to Federal contracts and grants FOREVER. Is Apple HIPAA compliant? No. https://patient-protect.com/post/is-icloud-hipaa-compliant
