The article discusses a new online strategy that holds personal details about patients suffering from kidney failure. There was also a lot of suggestion as to how legal it was and whether there was any patient consent.
O Google’s artificial intelligence division received the medical records of 1.6 million people on an "inappropriate legal basis", according to a leaked letter from a top government adviser.
I think that the NHS moving onto a more online platform is incredibly dangerous especially since the security and testing is seemingly very limited. IN this case the testing on through this development seemed to be incredibly limited and also a lot of the information was not made public. This would be extremely worrying especially with the recent NHS hack may have been preventable had the NHS taken the precautions that was recommended to them. This also potentially shows how too many companies are either taking advantages of NDM when it is not appropriate whilst the companies who could use it beneficially fail to do so.
