Women’s Health Care and Our Privacy Rights with Attorney Bethany Corbin

Do you know if you health care information is protected on the web?  It is more important than ever to know the answer to that question.

We invited FemTech attorney Bethany Corbin this week to answer our privacy questions.  Telehealth and tracking apps have become very popular in the last few years.  Most brands will comply with the HIPAA guidelines provided they are partnered with a Doctor or pharmaceutical company.  The grey area arises in an all pay cash situation and in that case, they may or may not be complying with federal requirements.

Wearables and other apps may be subject to FDA guidelines but at a lower Class 1 certification.  This may mean that they are not subject to the same testing and accuracy requirements.  It may also mean that they may be selling your information to data brokers and possibly law enforcement.

Know more about your privacy rights in the every changing telehealth and internet world.
