Published purpose
The use of commercial virtual care services in Canada has exploded with the COVID-19 pandemic, improving access and transforming care, as well as raising concerns about the privacy and security of personal health information. This project’s research goal is to describe, analyze and critique commercial virtual care services in Canada. It focuses on how the collection and commercialization of de-identified data affects privacy as well as other risks that emerge with inadequate privacy protections. Ultimately, the goal of the project is to create new normative frameworks and enhance privacy protections and accountability.
