    I suspect that the US insurance companies will figure out how to track the health of their clients and denounce the insurance before the client even knows they are coming down with health issues. There can be a lot of ways to use the peoples data against them and make profit. The first companies to figure the ways out will most probably grow substantially and normalize the behavior. Some government regulation might be needed, but I'm sure it is something too complex for the legislators to contain or understand well enough.

    The provlem with chemcorp and bigdata firms is that they start out as an ideal but then eventually start pushing the envelope for their shareholders. It would probably be different if data providers, the program costumers who need information on their disease process, are automatically made shareholder, meaning you can only become shareholder due to your disease, keeping the company on track working for you

    Centralized repository of any sort makes me nervous. Centralized repository of global health data? Absofuckinglutely terrifying. You can put a friendly face on it and call it cute names but let's be real about the power we are giving companies like Verily. Now more than ever, there needs to be a governing body for these companies.

    Making maximum profit will never be in line with human needs. Money is not a universal solution for all of our problems. The economy must be at the service of man and not vice versa.

    User data (geographic, for advertisement or health) should always be encrypted so that you cannot tell who this person is. Plus, we need more control over our data. I would be more willing to share data if it’s encrypted and if I can tell which data I want to send. Plus, a non profit institute should exist that works with this data. Maybe universities or WHO. They shouldn’t be allowed to make profit from the data, just analyze them to give rise to medical benefits.
