INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Most people don't know it but there is a multi-billion dollar industry that collects healthcare information, strips it of basic personal
identifiers such as name, address and Social Security Number, and then sells it off to researchers, drug developers, marketers and
others.Medical informatics companies, such as Iqvia (IMS Health), Optum, and Symphony Health reap the profits of selling the healthcare data
while the people from whom it's collected have no control over how it's used
Nor do they get any compensation for it.
