I can definitely see this ending badly in a few years. Cloud storage is hacked (or just left wide open), medical records leaked. Or the company bought out by someone less scrupulous. We need to get serious about treating user/customer data as hazardous waste. Have as little of it as you can to do the job, and make safe storage a life-or-death priority, not just something to tick off on a certification checklist.

We definitely share the same opinion in regards to treating medical data like hazardous waste. Right now our solution is entirely pass-through, but down the road if we're storing data, we won't be just relying on the fact we're HIPAA & SOC 2 compliant, but instead we'll be approaching safe storage as a life-or-death priority. This is why we believe open-source has a huge advantage - by allowing our code to be audited by the world. What we're doing with the data will ultimately be visible for the world to see. We also won't be selling to someone less scrupulous, as we're the ones trying to set the standard in the space.
