Social Media Users Would Share Health Data if Privacy Is Protected, IOM Report Says
Ninety-four percent of social media users with health conditions said they would be willing to share their medical data to improve overall health care, provided that their privacy is protected, according to a discussion paper from the Institute of Medicine. However, the paper also found that 76% of respondents said they believed information from their personal health record potentially could be used without their knowledge.
