How to solve the ‘Goldilocks’ dilemma of health data sharing?

The healthcare industry is grappling with the challenge of balancing data sharing with privacy protection. The push for wider interoperability and increased data sharing is in conflict with consumers’ demand for more stringent privacy measures, especially with the entry of big tech companies into healthcare. The Goldilocks Health Data Dilemma refers to finding the right balance between the two. There is a need for legislative action to address privacy concerns, and technology companies are now more open to regulations to avoid fragmented privacy laws. The outdated HIPAA regulations and the need to cover non-clinical data add further complexity to the issue. Legislative action is required to establish a comprehensive framework for privacy protection in healthcare.
