Huge problem is data protections in the USA that do not allow for easy sharing of patient data for these purposes. The liability is huge and the upside is very little. Furthermore, if it's a college-affiliated hospital, that data is not going anywhere except to the internal teams within the college.

- mannyv 2y agoYour data is valueless when it's by itself. That's the fundamental mistake they made with HIPAA.
- iancmceachern 2y agoThat's not true. Knowing if you have an expensive condition could be invaluable to say, an insurance company. Knowing something else may give people the opportunity for blackmail. There are lots of reasons one's medical history is valuable. There is more that is valuable than just money.
