SUMMARY - Health Data & Privacy

A patient receives notification that her health information was exposed in a data breach - years of diagnoses, prescriptions, and intimate details now potentially accessible to unknown parties. The violation feels profound; her health history is among her most private information. A researcher seeks access to health data that could reveal patterns and save lives, but privacy restrictions make such access difficult. Lives that could be saved are lost to data she cannot access.
