Heres an interesting "letter to Mark Zuckerberg" from a professor of health informatics who has worked with the NHS for the last 34 years.1 It discusses the issue of "the creepy line" and how to manage it in terms of getting informed consent to use electronic patient records. He suggests NHS has "25 years of data on 50 million people" but because consent is required they cannot extract much meaningful information from it. He tells that in an effort to "get around" this problem, the government proposed the concept of "implied consent". A former shipyard worker in one of the authors workshops evaluated this concept plainly as thus: "Clearly some London-based bollocks. Nobody implies my consent." 1 https://www.digitalhealth.net/2018/04/joes-view-dear-mr-zuck... |
