Etheal Advisory Board Grows

The Etheal team welcomes Pam Dixon, the Founder and Executive Director of the World Privacy Forum, as an advisor. An author and researcher, Dixon has written respected and influential studies in the area of data protection, identity, and privacy.

Introducing Pam Dixon

Pam was the lead author on a groundbreaking report on predictive analytics and financial, medical, and other scoring mechanisms, The Scoring of America (April 2014). She researched and wrote the first report on medical identity theft (May 2006), identifying and bringing that topic to the public for the first time. In 2008, an influential California law to require medical data breach notification was passed based on Dixon’s research. Her most recent work in this area was published in 2018, and focused on the geographic and methodological patterns of medical identity uses.

Etheal advisor Pam Dixon

Dixon is an expert advisor to OECD on health data uses. She has testified before the US Congress and Federal agencies, and is frequently quoted in the media regarding privacy and security issues. Today, she serves on the editorial board of the Harvard-based Journal of Technology Science and is the author of 8 books, including Online Privacy with Robert Gellman.

Pam and Etheal

Pam’s decades of expertise and pioneering work in the fields of online privacy in medicine and health is key to creating an exceptional and secure product with Etheal. We are excited to continue working with Pam, and the rest of our exceptional advisors, including Michael Terpin, David Orban, and Harvard Alumnus Professor Dr. Tibor Bartha!
