Legal Complexities of AI-Transformed Patient Data Explored in HealthTech Series
Nelson Advisors' HealthTech series addresses the legal complexities surrounding the ownership of patient data once it has been processed by AI. The series highlights the lack of direct property rights for patients over their health data in the U.S., U.K., and EU. Instead, data is managed through regulatory custodianship and privacy laws. The U.S. courts have consistently rejected the notion of patient property rights in health data, as seen in cases like Dinerstein v. Google. The series also discusses the implications of AI-generated data, which often falls outside traditional copyright protections, leading to reliance on trade secrecy and contractual agreements for data control.
