Health‑Record‑Linked Assistants

AI assistants that are explicitly designed and marketed to connect to users’ electronic health records and wellness apps create a new category of private health data custodians. By integrating EHR back‑ends (b.well) and device APIs (Apple Health, MyFitnessPal), these assistants move personalization beyond generic advice into territory that implicates clinical safety, privacy law, insurance risk and vendor liability. — This matters because private platforms aggregating EHRs at scale change who controls sensitive health data, how medical advice is mediated, and what rules are needed for consent, auditability, and professional accountability.
