I wonder what would happen if the alexa recordings captured some HIPPA protected medical information that a customer spoke verbally in the privacy of their own home.
- andjd 5y agoHIPAA generally only limits what information healthcare providers (e.g. doctors and hospitals) can disclose ... so nothing.
- jedimastert 5y agoHIPAA (two a's, not two p's) is a regulation of communications from and by medical providers. This is the same false information people spit about vaccine cards.
- tmaly 5y agoI think the scope is beyond that. My friend works for a startup that makes a medical platform for ordering things like wheelchairs. He and the company are bound by the law. The distinction is if you are working with protected health information, not that you are a medical provider.
- jedimastert 5y agoI think at that point they count as a "healthcare provider"
