Join privacy advocate Tess Wilson to discuss health data privacy. We will explore some of the health apps and tools that have recently become more popular, and the potential privacy concerns of interacting with these resources. Finally, we will dig into the ways library staff can support our communities in their health data journey.
At the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
– Describe privacy issues associated with health data
– Explain some popular health apps and tools
– Identify vulnerable moments in our health journey
This workshop is intended for any library worker with an interest in privacy.
