Example: Anna wants to sign a life insurance. During a meeting with the insurance agent she agrees that the insurance company can fetch her medical records.
A letter sends to Anna's doctor who sends the medical record in a letter to the insurance company. There it will be analyzed and stored.
The whole process is old-fashioned (gammaldags).
The medical record could be send electronic, analyzed with modern methods like DNN and stored electronic, but it isn't.
Why? Because insurance industry is old-fashioned or because of legal obstacles?
Is it legal to store Anna's medical records containing intimate details on a server in London?
Hi DeepestCoin,
A DNN to analyse medical records is a very good idea. For now the Insurance industry is old-fashioned and doesn't have much of this kind of technology in place.
The medicals records are already stored inside a Summary Care Record in the UK and exchanged by multiple professionals. We are keeping a close eye on GDPR and other initiatives to stay compliant with regulations.
Thanks,
