State Health Data Statutes

Meaning

The body of specific, localized laws and regulations enacted by individual state governments that govern the collection, use, security, and disclosure of personal health information within their jurisdiction. These statutes often supplement or extend federal laws like HIPAA, particularly concerning consumer-generated health data collected by wellness apps, genetic testing companies, and other entities not traditionally covered by federal medical privacy rules. They are crucial in defining the landscape of data sovereignty and privacy rights for patients in the hormonal health and longevity space.
