I’d strongly recommend people not share too much health information of any sort with apps. The temptation to monetize it will be too strong https://t.co/aUYSZ7Spny

This is my concern about health apps (and health systems), you don’t know where your data goes. From @JAMANetworkOpen: Data sharing w/3rd parties that includes linkable identifiers is prevalent and focused on services provided by Google and Facebook. https://t.co/CgGQev0GPk pic.twitter.com/O5vR76SGkb
— Harlan Krumholz (@hmkyale) April 19, 2019
and here is one of their conclusions: "Mismatches between declared privacy policies & observed behavior highlight the continuing need for innovation around trust & transparency for health apps.” This is also happening with health systems. https://t.co/CgGQev0GPk @JAMANetworkOpen

Some health apps have #privacy policies...but do they follow them and not share you data like they claim? In our team's new paper, only 1/3 of #depression + smoking cessation (n=36) accurately disclosed where data is transmitted.

What’s more, from the same article. "Despite this, most apps offer users no way to anticipate that data will be shared in this way. As a result, users are denied an informed choice about whether such sharing is acceptable to them.” https://t.co/CgGQev0GPk @JAMANetworkOpen
