When Dr. Nadine "Deanie" Singh founded Premier Mobil Health Services in 2018 as a mobile clinic operating out of an RV she bought with her own money on eBay. They serve uninsured and underinsured children, families and individuals at multiple locations across Lee County, as well as at a walk-in, bricks-and-mortar clinic in Fort Myers. Dr. Singh recently traveled to Boston to attend an executive education course for nonprofits at the Harvard Business School — which was supported by a scholarship from the Harvard Club of Naples — so we brought her into the studio to talk about her path that led to founding Premier Mobile Health Services, the work they do, and what she took away from her trip to Boston.

Given the unhealthy data-collection habits of some mHealth apps, you're well advised to exercise caution when choosing with whom you share some of your most sensitive data. In today's digital economy, there's an app for just about everything. One area that's booming more than most is healthcare. From period and fertility trackers to mental health and mindfulness, there are mobile health (mHealth) applications available to help with almost any condition. In fact, it's a market already experiencing double-digit growth and is set to be worth an estimated $861 billion by 2030. But when using these apps, you could be sharing some of the most sensitive data you possess. In fact, the GDPR classifies medical information as "special category" data, meaning it could "create significant risks to the individual's fundamental rights and freedoms" if disclosed. That's why regulators mandate organizations provide extra protections for it. Unfortunately, not all app developers have the best interests of their users in mind or always know how to protect them. They may skimp on data protection measures, or they may not always make it clear as to how much of your personal information they share with third parties. With that in mind, let's take a look at the main privacy and security risks of using these apps and how you can stay safe. What are the top health app privacy and security risks? The main risks of using mHealth apps fall into three categories: insufficient data security, excessive data sharing, and poorly worded or deliberately evasive privacy policies. 1. Data security concerns These often stem from developers failing to follow best practice rules on cybersecurity. They could include: Apps that are no longer supported or don't receive updates: Vendors may not have a vulnerability disclosure/management program in place, or take little interest in updating their products. Whatever the reason, if software doesn't receive updates, it means it may be riddled with vulnerabilities which attackers can exploit to steal your data. Insecure protocols: Apps that use insecure communications protocols may expose users to the risk of hackers intercepting their data in transit from the app to the provider's back-end or cloud servers, where it's processed. No multi-factor authentication (MFA): Most reputable services today offer MFA as a way to bolster security at the log-in stage. Without it, hackers could obtain your password via phishing or a separate breach (if you reuse passwords across different apps) and log in as if they were you. Poor password management: For example, apps that allow users to keep factory default passwords, or set insecure credentials such as "passw0rd" or "111111." This leaves the user exposed to credential stuffing and other brute force attempts to crack their accounts. Enterprise security: App companies may also have limited security controls and processes in place in their own data storage environment. This could include poor user awareness training, limited anti-malware and endpoint/network detection, no data encryption, limited access controls, and no vulnerability management or incident response processes in place. These all increase the chances they could suffer a data breach. 2. Excessive data sharing Users' health information (PHI) may include highly sensitive details about sexually transmitted diseases, substance addition or other stigmatised conditions. These may be sold or shared to third parties, including advertisers for marketing and targeted ads. Among the examples noted by Mozilla are mHealth providers that: combine information on users with data bought from data brokers, social media sites and other providers to build more complete identity profiles, do not allow users to request deletion of specific data, use inferences made about users when they take sign-up questionnaires which ask revealing questions about sexual orientation, depression, gender identity and more, allow third-party session cookies whi...

S2E15: Why Did it Take So Long? with Victoria Reinhartz, CEO at Mobile Health Consultants and host Dr. Nick. During the pandemic there were some significant shortage problems with access to ventilators and oxygen supplies which extended into the community as we learned more about the disease, its biomarkers, and signals, in particular your blood oxygenation. The pulse oximeter was another item that disappeared off the shelves with panic buying. Unfortunately, like many other discoveries during the pandemic, this one exposed another gaping hole inequitable access to healthcare. In development and testing they failed to include a balance presentation of our population to include the wide range of skin colors and ethnic groups. So while we await progress in the development of new devices and approaches to non-invasive monitoring of blood oxygenation it is essential to raise awareness of the challenges and discrepancies in the accuracy of the current devices. Your better pill to swallow is to treat the patient not the number and using the available mobile resources that can intelligently support the home healthcare or medical home that is of increasing importance in delivering the best possible total care.

We use our smartphones to communicate, shop, navigate, watch videos, take pictures, share our lives on social media, track our exercise, and listen to music and podcasts. So why shouldn't they also be the main interface to our healthcare experiences? That's the question P.J. Jain started out with in 2010 when he left behind a career in networking and telecommunications to start a company dedicated to mobile health. Called Vibrent Health, the company went on to win a game-changing contract in 2015 to help the National Institutes of Health build a mobile data-gathering infrastructure for a giant research program called All of Us.That's a 10-year project designed to gather medical data from more than a million people around the United States to help doctors make more customized health recommendations based on a patient's environment, lifestyle, family history, and genetic makeup. If you're going to try to recruit a million people into your research study and keep tabs on their health, and if those people are going to be from diverse backgrounds, and if they're going to be distributed around the country, then there's only one practical way to reach them, and that's on their smartphones. NIH asked Vibrent to build a mobile app and an online portal that would become the communications backbone and the central data gathering repository for the whole project. And now that NIH is six or seven years into the All of Us project, it's clear that in some ways the project, and Vibrent's front end, have leapfrogged over the rest of the US healthcare ecosystem. The app provides an easy way to gather and manage data from patients in the study, and to monitor and interact with them, while still protecting their privacy.  As Jain puts it, it meets All of Us participants "where they are" – meaning, on their phones. Technology like that still isn't part of the offering at most big health plans or hospital networks. But Vibrent is working to change that by partnering with health systems, academic health centers, pharmaceutical companies, public health organizations, and research organizations to get its mobile apps distributed more widely. If you believe that our phones are going to be a key element of personalized and precision medicine for everyone, then the work Vibrent is doing with NIH and its other customers is worth watching.For a full transcript of this episode, please visit our episode page at http://www.glorikian.com/podcast Please rate and review The Harry Glorikian Show on Apple Podcasts!

First, the USB external drive needs to be formatted in a file system that iOS can recognize, which most modern USB hard drives are these days.  Second, this works best with a USB 3.0 drive. Third, so many of our USB hard drives and thumbdrives are USB-A so you'll need an adaptor to plug it into your iPhone/iPad. If you have a Lightning iOS device, you can use Apple's “Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter.” If you have a USB-C iPad, you'll need a USB-A to USB-C adapter or today you might be able to find external drives that can connect directly to the USB-C port.

California, and especially the Bay Area, continue to make remarkable progress against COVID-19, with fewer people in the hospital and steadily dropping rates of transmission, But there are pockets of the state where the opposite is true. In the far northern part of the state and in the Central Valley, vaccination rates remain low and hospitals are overwhelmed. In Fresno, ICUs are packed and there's a shortage of hospital beds and ambulances. The delta variant continues to surge there and the pandemic remains an urgent crisis. For more, KCBS political reporter Doug Sovern and KCBS news anchors Patti Reising and Kris Ankarlo spoke with DR. Kenny Banh. He is an associate professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine at UCSF, Fresno, pulling extra shifts in the ER at the trauma center there and he also directs the Mobile Health and Learning COVID-19 Equity Project, so he manages the region's largest vaccination and testing site.

In the COVID era, telehealth has become a suddenly normal part of our lives. How is this impacting kidney patients and what implications does it have for the future of kidney care? We sat down with researcher Dr. Sarah Schrauben to discuss her recently published article on Mobile Health Technology in NKF's American Journal of Kidney Disease (AJKD).   In this episode, you will hear from:   Dr. Sarah Schrauben: Dr. Schrauben is a researcher and Assistant Professor of Medicine and Epidemiology in the Division of Renal, Electrolyte, and Hypertension, and Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Informatics at the Perelman School of Medicine. Dr. Schrauben's research focuses on the impact of health behaviors and modifiable risk factors in the development and management of chronic kidney disease and its complications, as well as addressing implementation gaps of evidence-based care in CKD.   The episode is moderated by NKF patient advocate Jessica Washington. Jessica was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney disease in 2019. She has been extremely motivated to advocate for the National Kidney Foundation to help others fight for better understanding, awareness, support, and anything else she can do to make it easier for so many out there dealing with this disease.   Learn more about Dr. Schrauben's research by visiting www.kidney.org/newsletter/are-mobile-apps-wave-future-kidney-care.

This episode of The Dish on Health IT features distinguished guest Evelyn Gallego, CEO at EMI Advisors and Program Manager at the SIREN HL7 Gravity project. Our new host Ken Kleinberg along with co-hosts Jocelyn Keegan and Pooja Babbrah talk with Evelyn about value propositions for collecting social risk data, establishing agreed upon language and vocabulary for social determinants of health (SDoH) data and the issue of consumer and patient privacy.For those who don't know, what is social determinants of health (SDoH)? Evelyn quotes the World Health Organization's definition of SDoH, which defines it as the conditions in which we are born that effect our overall health. To put this in perspective, it is estimated that over 50 percent of our overall health is driven by socioeconomic factors and our physical environments.Evelyn notes that as the industry shifts towards value-based care, organizations are increasingly pressured to address some of these unmet social needs that negatively impact patient health outcomes. Disparities among racial and ethnic groups have been further exasperated during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, nearly 47.8 percent of COVID-19 deaths (from May 2020 – August 2020) were people of color. She states that there are obvious value propositions for collecting and using social risk data. The collection of this data not only would improve clinical care and delivery of care, but it also would improve social risk interventions, population health management, community health improvement and research. However, Evelyn explains that even though the business case is made clear, clinical systems have not been able to consistently and effectively address social needs due to the existing challenge of how to document this data.Ken asks Evelyn to further discuss the specifics of the Gravity project. She shares that the Gravity Project began in May 2019 with goal of developing consensus-based standards for the interoperable data exchange of SDoH across health services systems. The project was initiated by Social Interventions Research & Evaluation Network (SIREN) with funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. There were three specific social risk domains that the project focused on, and those were: food insecurity, housing instability and quality, and transportation access. Evelyn says those three risk domains have been tackled since, and they have moved on now to financial insecurities, education status, employment status, veteran status, social isolation, stress, and interpersonal violence.Since its inception, Evelyn says the project has had over 1500 participants in the health and human services ecosystem. Her team found success in reaching out to a large number of players with their value proposition and welcomed them a seat at the table. Many of these community-based organizations (CBOs) are weary of health systems, and fear medicalizing SDoH, yet want to help establish agreed upon language to ensure clear understanding of all parties involved.Evelyn and her team had overwhelming interest in this area to which they realized their current model of operating would no longer be sustainable. They needed to raise money and looked to the Da Vinci project's structure for guidance. In August 2019, Gravity became an official FHIR accelerator. Evelyn said they wanted to make an initiative that would incentivize different stakeholder groups to participate and sponsor, and not make it a pay to play model because they still needed stakeholders who would never sponsor the project still be at the table.Jocelyn jumps into the conversation and says the FHIR community has the ability to bring the right people, the right model, and the right funds together to get work done faster.Jocelyn explains that we will not get the patient impact we want to see if not all stakeholders are engaged with this process. We can build all the implementation guides we want, but if no one picks them up and uses them, there is no point. Jocelyn applauds Gravity for being hands on and for bringing incredibly dispersed and perpetually underfunded stakeholders to the table.Ken asks Evelyn about the use and value of FHIR interoperability, pilots and testing and potential challenges. She says that Gravity's process has two workstreams: terminology and technology. The project started out to address coding gaps in the market. FHIR standards move data from one point to the other, but data definitions must be in place in order to understand that data. It goes hand in hand.The Gravity project has three use cases and one FHIR implementation guide focused moving clinical care data to CBOs. Evelyn and team are currently funding by ONC, under the HL7 cooperative agreement, to investigate what standards are used by CBOs as well as what data infrastructure exists and how can they be made FHIR compatible. She notes that we do not know for certain if FHIR is the best way to exchange information in CBOs. We're working on that. She goes on to say Gravity engages a lot with government agencies, Administration of Community Living (ACL) being one. ACL provides grants to state agencies on aging to support elderly services in the community. ACL issued a challenge grant for innovations in the market, and they made it a requirement of the grant to adopt the Gravity standards. This is huge.Finally, Evelyn stresses that we can't ignore the power of mobile technology. How do we use mobile technology to support referrals, ultimately allowing individuals to finish the loop? For example, using QR codes for individuals referred to a food bank. They go to the food bank, use the QR code, and then receive or don't receive food (depending on the available resources). We would be able to receive feedback to see if 1) the individual went to the food back and 2) they were able to receive food.Jocelyn notes the importance of identifying where endpoints are in the community. Ones that we can leverage and better enable technology but that's not going to be an expensive IT system. Pooja wonders if there are international examples we could be looking to for mobile technologies. Where else could we look in foreign countries where they are making connections and using existing rails that are already there, especially for some of the CBOs?Ken moves the discussion to the burdens of SDoH. Evelyn notes the obvious, ongoing provider burden in documenting SDoH information. She also brings up the burden CBOs face with SDoH around capacity, they are not equipped to start receiving referrals.Jocelyn explains that as soon as organizations receive direction from regulation, that dictates how goals and efforts are prioritized. We hear people say they don't want additional regulations, but we see organizations often don't prioritize certain things unless they are under regulation. The FHIR community is a great example of how providers, payers, vendors and the government can come together to put those “levers” (regulation) in place.Ken brings up the final topic. He asks Evelyn to speak to consumer and patient privacy. She states we must remain vigilant. We must work to maintain privacy, security and equity as we collect and share whole person data. The Gravity project works with very large communities of people to advance towards collecting and sharing SDoH data; creating standards; scaling standards. But it must be done judiciously.Evelyn notes that as more data is collected, it has the potential to further disadvantage those who were already marginalized or socially excluded. If social risk data is collected, she has had feedback that there is a fear of judgement for those individuals. The Gravity Project just published data principles, which outlines how to use SDoH data in an ethical way. We do not want to further exasperate what we see in the market. Patients must trust us to use their information in the right way. Consent will be key to all of this. Pooja adds that the stigma around mental health will add complexity to patient consent. What will patients want to share? Will it only be a portion of their information? This is a huge topic we must work through, but the data principles Evelyn mentioned is a step in the right direction. Ken asks Evelyn for her final remarks. She wants to plug Gravity pilots for her concluding remarks. She us currently raising funds for the pilots. She wants to have a diversity of actors testing the pilots, which makes the funding all that more important. We cannot achieve interoperability without having all the systems responsible for capturing and sharing data come to the table. Standards cannot be matured without first testing in the field.
