European Parliament and Council just agreed on the final text on the European #Health Data Space #EHDS. And it is not good enough by far. Selling out patient data for secondary purposes, not even with a real opt-out.


Owners of an Apple Watch. With iOS 17, Siri can now not only give you health data; like how many steps you have taken, most recent heart rate or blood oxygen, but it can also look in the past for you. For example, if I was wondering my heart rate while I was sleeping, I could say, what was my heart rate between midnight and 5 AM. It would then tell me the lowest and highest rates my heart reached during that time, plus my average rate during that time. It can do this for any hour you want to know about. This makes getting this information a lot quicker and easier. So if you want or need to know any health information, instead of trying to dig through the health app, just use Siri to find it for you! #iOS17 #Health #Data #Siri

Wow… this is a mass-scale health data grab (DNA, etc.) by industry if ever there was one.

Just look at how it’s funded and the people running it: https://ourfuturehealth.org.uk/about-us/#htoc-our-funding

Also looks like the Silicon Valley/Stanford/startup folks have finally well and truly got their nails into the NHS after constant lobbying and facilitated by folks (useful idiots or accomplices?) like NESTA.

Members of German Chaos Computer Club (CCC) have demonstratively patched "highly secure" VPN-routers encrypting medical data
in order to enable the use of updated encryption certificates.

Router manufacturers had provided devices without a certificate update option.
The hack could save health insurances & their customers from up to 400 mio €€€ of extra cost for new hardware.

Fascinating website on air pollution. https://www.addresspollution.org/ Put in my current postcode here in Cambrian Mountains- 1st percentile (phew!)
Previous address in Bucks 81st percentile! Previous address to that in Bristol was 64th percentile. So Bristol was actually cleaner than rural Bucks! Who knew. # # #
