Rep. @rosadelauro opens the hearing: The Hyde Amendment is a discriminatory policy. The time has come to reckon with the norm, and view it through the lens of how it impacts communities of color. #BeBoldEndHyde
Rep. @rosadelauro: Now is the time to empower all women to be able to make deeply personal life decisions without politicians inserting themselves into the doctor’s office. #BeBoldEndHyde
Consumers feel like they have little control over data collected on them. Users of #reprohealth apps have reason to be wary. @ConsumerReports tested 5 apps and found shortcomings in the way all handle the sensitive user data they collect. cr.org/periodtrackers
Repro health apps are offered as an empowerment tool for consumers eager for power and agency over their health. Yet at the same time, many health apps do not have proper privacy standards in place, which too often results in sensitive health data falling into the wrong hands.
US privacy laws are a safety net with more gaps than coverage. Health privacy laws that consumers rely on to protect sensitive details abt themselves do not extend to health tech like repro health apps. The bar is low. As a purveyor of wellness, app developers should aim higher
