When
data from all aspects of our lives can be relevant to our health - from
our habits at the grocery store and our Google searches to our FitBit
data and our medical records - can we really differentiate between big
data and health big data? Will health big data be used for good, such as
to improve drug safety, or ill, as in insurance discrimination? Will it
disrupt health care (and the health care system) as we know it? Will it
be possible to protect our health privacy? What barriers will there be
to collecting and utilizing health big data? What role should law play,
and what ethical concerns may arise? This timely, groundbreaking volume
explores these questions and more from a variety of perspectives,
examining how law promotes or discourages the use of big data in the
health care sphere, and also what we can learn from other sectors.
