Simple solution. Make medical records privacy opt-in.
Most people won't bother (strong default effect), so lots of data for research, and those who care can still can have their privacy. It won't exactly be a random sample, but it should still be better than what's available currently.

- comboy 9y agoI'm assuming making these record public in an anonymized way. If somebody wants your records directly nothing changes. So he doesn't know whether you're sharing your data or not. Of course there's good chance he can find you in the anonymized dataset if it's detailed enough. But he can't be 100% sure it's you.
