'Podnosis': Sizing up data privacy legislation and what you missed from the Digital Pharma East conference

The American Data Privacy and Protection Act says it would protect “any information that describes or reveals the past, present or future physical health, mental health, disability, diagnosis or healthcare treatment of an individual.” The bill, introduced in July, comes at a time when more tech companies are breaking into the healthcare space and eyes are turning to the protection of reproductive health data. To gain insight into the bill’s uncertain future, Fierce’s Annie Burky spoke with Deven McGraw, lead of data stewardship and sharing at medical genetics company Invitae.

And listen in on a snippet from a panel senior editor Heather Landi moderated at Digital Pharma East on leveraging digital health tools and social determinants data to improve patients’ health.
