Most people doing a video meeting with their doctor are already trusting their information to third parties in some way. I understand that you probably are in a different situation. Perhaps services like these are on the path to your more privacy-oriented doctor having a tool that helps them and is comfortable for knowledgeable patients.

Yes, if you're doing telehealth, you're already taking a risk in terms of privacy. But the service provider doesn't need to actually pay attention to what you and your doctor are talking about to provide the service.

This is different, in that this service requires that a third party pay attention to the content of your discussion in order to work. That's significantly more intrusive.
