| I'd do neither. It's not necessarily a privacy thing because my health info isn't very sensitive and FB already knows absolutely everything about me. It's more that Facebook is a place where I socialize, read news, and find local events. Booking a doctor's appt is a totally different use of the service and feels as weird as, for example, doing video calls through YouTube. I also think people have been burned by the "I think I'm doing something private on FB, but it somehow got published" experience in the past, and this would make them super nervous. And, finally, I'd imagine this would violate HIPAA laws because Facebook's DB would be holding sensitive health data about your users, so I'm not even sure this is legal without a partnership with Facebook and their own HIPAA compliance. Edit: HN is also a bad place to ask about this because a lot of people here are privacy wonks and won't even use Gmail or Facebook. Researching products for general consumers is fairly uninformative here. Edit 2: Actually, I'm sort of horrified if you don't already know the HIPAA implications. Doesn't your company deal with those every day? |
