Gregory's ServerThis gives me pause. Part of the game when it comes to telehealth is accepting the limitations of privacy. A non-collateral participant may overhear conversations or read messages between a patient and a provider. Fact of life. My email signature says "...any use of this information..."
That means anyone who accidentally reads it knows not to use it, and had better not. Simple enough, but it's still an honor system.

I don't have a good enough grasp on the tech side of this, but I do know compliance. It seems to me that if the software is analyzing expressions that it must, therefore, be compliant with HITECH. That means a BAA with virtually every telehealth platform on earth, when considered in the context of Apple's device saturation. That's a lot. Even for a company like Apple.
Any other compliance folks have thoughts?
I would be inclined to send this up to counsel. It reeks of liability.
