In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle found the mask mandate exceeded the CDC’s authority under federal public health law, and she put forth a narrow interpretation that would limit the agency’s ability to take actions…
This article originally appeared in Entrepreneur and is republished here with permission. The promise (and peril) of actionable and monetizable patient data in digital health has never been higher. On the one hand, the overnight acceptance and adoption of telemedicine during the pandemic turned what had been a niche into a juggernaut, and with it transformed millions of valuable patient interactions and disclosures into searchable, actionable intelligence that can be mined. On the other hand,…
