Functional Health Data Protection

Meaning

Functional Health Data Protection is the systematic safeguarding of sensitive physiological, metabolic, and performance data generated outside of traditional clinical settings, such as information from wearable devices, continuous glucose monitors, or advanced functional lab tests. This protection extends beyond standard HIPAA compliance to encompass the vast, granular data used in personalized wellness and longevity protocols. Ensuring the confidentiality and security of this high-resolution, functional data is paramount for maintaining patient trust and preventing its misuse in non-clinical contexts. This specialized data requires robust encryption and access controls to maintain its privacy.
