A cautious approach is stressed by Trisha Torrey, as she comments on the upcoming launch of Revolution Health:
Case’s program, and the commentor’s program, involve patients keeping their own records online. These are the systems that make me more nervous, because there are no standards, and because too many people are not savvy enough to be cautious enough about what they store online. They are fertile ground for hackers who want to steal information: health insurance information, in particular, makes it easy to grab someone’s social security information.
And that leads to medical identity theft.
