#patientdata — Public Fediverse posts

"NHS England has admitted that a data protection document inaccurately stated who could access patient information, failing to disclose that Palantir staff could view identifiable data held within part of its Federated Data Platform.

The US spy-tech firm won a £330 million contract to provide the platform in 2023 after it was awarded £60 million in COVID-era contracts without competition. The system is designed to improve data sharing across the NHS in England and help tackle the backlog in patient care.

In May, NHS England confirmed that Palantir staff can access identifiable patient information within the platform's National Data Integration Tenant, an arrangement that was not accurately reflected in its Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA).

Following a request for clarification from the National Data Guardian (NDG), an independent statutory office that advises England's health and care system, NHS England admitted the error."

A study shows that #MedicalAI is more vulnerable to certain attacks than previously thought. Researchers, including Daniel Rückert, show membership inference attacks can reveal whether #PatientData was used in training, with uneven risks: http://go.tum.de/335038

University of Queensland: World-first database first step to combatting MND. “It has been 12 years since the ice-bucket challenge went viral on social media across the world, but its impact is still front of mind for University of Queensland researchers who have developed a new database to combat Motor Neurone Disease (MND). The researchers collaborated with clinicians and researchers across […]

A Harvard #study found that #AIsystems #outperformed #humandoctors in #emergencymedicine #triage. However, the study only tested #humans against #AIs looking at #patientdata that can be communicated via text, and the AI’s reading of signals, such as the patient’s level of distress and their visual appearance, were not tested. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/30/ai-outperforms-doctors-in-harvard-trial-of-emergency-triage-diagnoses?eicker.news #tech #media #news

The problem: Healthcare systems that don't talk to each other 🤔

Labs, imaging, pharmacy, billing—all siloed.

The solution: Robust EHR integration connecting everything into one unified system.

When data flows freely, everyone wins—especially patients!

Healthcare practices are under cyber siege.

Ransomware, phishing, stolen records… and all while trying to run a clinic, not a data centre.

The reality? Patient records are gold to attackers. But most GP surgeries, dental clinics, and therapists don’t have enterprise IT teams or endless budgets.

✅ MFA
✅ Backups
✅ Staff training
✅ A risk-based plan
✅ A bit of guidance from someone who gets it

You can do cybersecurity without breaking the bank – and without losing focus on care.

Need help getting there? I speak fluent “healthcare on a budget.” Let’s talk 👽
