Nothing will change in USA. Even TelaDoc & Livongo send sensitive analytics from their apps to multiple 3rd parties violating HIPAA and CMIA and they just don't care. OCR don't take action. California DOJ don't take action. Maximum HIPAA fine is $1.5M. Although HIPAA violations can lead to jail time it is so rare that it is a negligible risk.
