Consumer Health Data Stewardship

Meaning

Consumer health data stewardship refers to the ethical and responsible management, protection, and utilization of non-clinical, consumer-generated health information, such as hormonal cycle tracking or fitness metrics, collected outside of traditional healthcare settings. This stewardship requires organizations to act as trustworthy custodians of sensitive data, prioritizing the individual’s privacy and well-being over commercial interests. Effective stewardship involves transparent policies, rigorous security practices, and a commitment to using the data solely for purposes that directly benefit the consumer’s hormonal health and wellness journey.
