[TUTO] “My health space”: how to refuse its creation and protect your medical data!
Your medical file is confidential. It’s a compendium of everything about your health: medication prescriptions, x-rays, history, notes from your doctors, letters and reports, exams, recommendations, etc. My health space therefore proposes to centralize all of this by adding an agenda and a messaging service to create “Web 2.0”. The goal is to facilitate the task of doctors since they will have all your medical history at hand. Because it’s not the case already? When you were born in Tourcoing and you move to Marseille, do you think that your surgeon will not ask a colleague for your medical file before operating on you?

What changes with this creation is above all that the data will be accessible online on a centralized server. However, nothing has filtered as to the encryption method. All we know is that it’s hosted in France and that the GDPR is supposed to protect us… And who will have access to it? Which people? What computer systems? Because the problem with medical secrecy is that we would like it to remain secret, you see. Yes it’s a little old school, but if I went to rehab, a psychiatric hospital or was treated for a rape or an alcoholic coma, I would like that to remain between me and my doctor, as much as possible.
Because in addition to human curiosity, there is also the risk of hacking and blackmail.
🚨 Little reminder: you have until the end of March to oppose the creation of “My Health Space”.
➡️ You can do it directly online, even without a code received beforehand.
✅ Just bring your vital card, it takes 5 min 👍 pic.twitter.com/hcV0dNrpRh

A completely plausible disaster scenario…
Also imagine that, depending on the various governments that will follow one another in the future, more and more entities do not have access to this DMP (Shared Medical Record, already there is a problem in the name). Your bank ? Your insurance? Do you think a banker would grant you a loan knowing that you have already had cancer? Or that an insurance would cover you if by chance it knew about your alcoholism or your eye operation? Do not act as if you have nothing to hide: we all have something to hide and if medical secrecy exists it is for many good reasons.
It is not yet too late to oppose the creation of My Health Space. The problem is that if you don’t do anything, we’ll assume that you’re consenting. It is therefore absolutely necessary to show up as soon as possible!
My hemorrhoids will not be on My Health Space
Of course we see our detractors coming from afar: “You see evil everywhere! », “You are describing Chinese-style social credit to us, it’s ridiculous”.
May be.
But who got vaccinated to go swimming? Who is happy to be able to drink standing up or eat on the train? who had said “Ha no, they will not hide my children. Never “, but who buys a box of size S surgical masks at Carrefour every week? Who bends down like half a man for 2 years?
So if you want to at least keep your hemorrhoids to yourself, follow the guide…
