Consumer Health Data Monetization

Meaning

Consumer Health Data Monetization is the commercial process of converting aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified personal health and wellness data into economic value for companies within the health technology and wellness sectors. This data includes biometric readings, activity logs, nutritional information, and, critically, hormonal assay results and genetic markers collected via direct-to-consumer services and wearable devices. Ethical considerations regarding privacy and informed consent are paramount in this rapidly evolving space, particularly when dealing with sensitive endocrine profiles. The practice fuels research and personalized product development but necessitates robust data governance frameworks.
