- Privacy isn’t complex — it’s about doing a few basic things right. Paper on privacy and #Covid-19 tech by @DataGovNetwork highlights eight principles, incl. granular consent, purpose and storage limitation, decentralisation, encryption and anonymisation. bit.ly/34rp1w3
- Perspectives shift when we view data not as disembodied oil or CO2, but as intrinsically connected to bodies. This line of thinking also makes me pay special attention to vulnerable groups. @so_radhikal uses it to evaluate Covid-19 surveillance in India bit.ly/2LEve16
- Good healthcare relies on trust, care and loyalty between patient and doctor. It still isn’t clear how this would transition to an AI world. Transparency, accountability and certification key. Summary of event by @tandem_research and @innovcorps: bit.ly/37fPeOC
