There are good and bad types of health data sharing in healthcare technology. Let's bolster the good kind and protect from the bad kind.
Our vision is a world in which patients and patient communities participating in health technologies are safe from exploitation and harm, have the right to decide how our collective health information is used and shared or used.
The value of the collective governance is derived from the ability of an online community to make and carry out decisions. As patients, we serve a critical role in the healthcare landscape. We seek a future where the role of patients is recognized, valued, and supported on equal footing with technology developers.
