Open Letter

Attention all healthcare providers

Dear Sir/Madam,

This open letter is to all healthcare providers to highlight the importance of protecting clinician and patient privacy online.

As we all know, good communication in healthcare is critical. Communication is an essential pillar in the delivery of efficient and effective care. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for fast, easy, and safe digital communication. The mobile revolution has provided a multitude of options for us to use.

As consumers, we communicate using tools from companies with familiar names, such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Apple. However, we know that they collect and use data across their channels to sell advertising and monetise consumer data.

What happens when consumer tools intersect with professionals working in a healthcare setting?
