Health is a deeply personal thing to many people. It's not surprising why people want to keep it secret, and I don't feel right asking them to give that up because there might be other benefits. Health privacy is something the world won't suffer much for having.
And health care analytics don't need any more data. There's already a ton. It's held by hospital systems, insurers, and governments. But the data sucks for analytics because it's chosen, coded, and siloed for payments.
