In April, Ontario issued the Digital Health Information Exchange Policy, which takes effect on October 1.
Health awareness is a hot topic Global revenue from fitness knowledge control systems, also known as electronic medical and fitness records (DDs), is expected to exceed $36 billion by 2021.
In Canada, five corporations dominate the ESD/DME market, and Google is about to sign up. As the world’s largest knowledge mining company, Google’s ability to wrap festivals is unprecedented.
Today, non-public knowledge of fitness has been temporarily reused without consent, in a way that had not been imagined in the past, which is amplified through the potential for benefits.
The conclusion of the Amazon agreements, the pandemic now includes a new contract with the Federal Government of Canada for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which puts Amazon at the center of our state-funded universal healthcare logistics, with access to a solid knowledge base.
The False Promise of Anonymity
Experts in generational knowledge, privacy and fitness warn that we will have to remain vigilant and cautious with the generating companies. Investigative hounds have already revealed secret agreements between government and knowledge-driven generation companies, unethical habits, and a failed track record of aptitude and knowledge. Intimacy.
He claims that our knowledge of physical fitness is due to de-identification or anonymization. Knowledge can be re-inactivated or anonymized by linking knowledge of physical fitness care with other information. As privacy advocate David Holtzman said, “the widespread availability of new equipment and technologies makes existing de-identification meaningless criteria. “
Then why does a false sense of security numb us?
The European Union and the United Kingdom hide the knowledge of their citizens, ending the predatory habit of generation corporations on their territory. Canada is very open, comparatively, and as such, Canadian knowledge has an exciting goal for corporations looking to leverage fitness knowledge.
These corporations use knowledge to count the predictive algorithms used through fitness formula planners. This is of specific fear because it has been demonstrated in several events that algorithms are sesgan. Algorithms are increasingly dictating our choices, our interest, our insurance rates, access to loans, housing. , task opportunities and more.
Damage and data
Research through researchers such as sociologist Ruha Benjamin and mathematics Cathy O’Neil shows how knowledge gathering and discriminatory algorithms pose the greatest risk to other minority people and democratic processes.
Benjamin’s scholarship shows that black communities are the main goals and recipients of algorithmic racism. Without legislation that protects the knowledge of knowledge intermediaries, we do not know where and how our knowledge is used and through whom.
Adding more racial markers to small populations, such as Canada’s black population, increases re-identification through corporations, surveillance agencies, and generation corporations that have large global, military, and security contracts.
Impact in Ontario
If the Ontario government continues on the path of austerity and gets rid of other fitness services, what are the implications, that is, for marginalized populations, of adding detailed sociodemographic knowledge to physical fitness records?
For example, how will knowledge be described as black, poor, disabled, or a person’s 3 insurance rates?The current law will not protect patients from this type of algorithmic discrimination. Only up-to-date knowledge legislation can protect us from monetization risks. discriminatory algorithms it generates.
Today, knowledge of how COVID-19 affects black communities in the United States has not affected the accumulation of the death toll. Not surprisingly, in the United States, race-based knowledge has already been used to undermine black people. their aptitude and dignity. And in Canada, it’s more or less the same: in Nova Scotia, two African-Canadian communities were selected through the province’s Medical Director of Health. Political will to act and blacks in the United States and Canada continue to fall.
Protecting rights
At a minimum, Canadians will have to ask for new knowledge laws, applicable sanctions, and resources to be proactive.
If the goal of gathering race-based knowledge is to combat racism, equity or accountability against blacks, the precedence will have to be racism against blacks.
Do the dangers of race-based knowledge outweigh the disadvantages?What is at stake is much greater, more insidious and harmful than we think.
