#42> Health is inherently social Maybe wellness is inherently social. I am a huge fan of Strava. But there is no way I would give three guys in Oakland access to my medical records.
Point taken. Not sure what Oakland has to do with it — we're located across the street from Kaiser Permanente's headquarters of 11,000 people in Oakland — but I think I see where you're coming from. You don't know us. And you deserve the best level of security. Some more background on us: I worked at Disqus for 3 years. I spent time on the Product team and helped engineer some of their tools too. Owen is a fantastic…
Did Amazon sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)? I know in the past that prevented clients of mine from using AWS in the healthcare space.

#43"Health is inherently social." No. It's not.
There is a lot of negative commentary on this thread (thanks HN for always providing such valuable feedback), but I'd like to point out what I think is useful and positive with Prime. First, health is inherently social. When you're sick, do you tell your loved one (boy/girlfriend, spouse, parent, close friends, etc?). Of course you do. You want them to know that you might need their care for a few days, that you migh…
>>First, health is inherently social. When you're sick, do you tell your loved one (boy/girlfriend, spouse, parent, close friends, etc?)
What is happening is that you are using the term "social" in a literal way, whereas in this context (the tech industry) it means something very specific.

#44What efforts are you doing in the medical community to get them using your service?
Re: Show HN: Get your health records from any doctor
#45I think there has to be some more stronger reasons to justify sharing medical / health information with friends. Sharing that with my health providers may be a good idea but definitely not with friends.

"When you're sick, do you tell your loved one (boy/girlfriend, spouse, parent, close friends, etc?). Of course you do." This is __highly__ subjective. I don't do this. But neither your comment nor mine proves anything. I have a feeling they're coming from the premise that pre-Facebook no one wanted to share what they're doing, filtered pictures of what they're eating, etc. The world evolves. As someone else has menti…
Thanks, right on! (Regarding our viewpoint on timing.)
You're also right that it's subjective but it seems that at some point everyone comes to share or hear about health info and we are working to improve the communication difficulties in that realm.

#47Why would providers partner with you? I work in healthcare and I'm having a hard time imagining how you sell this to them.

Thanks for the note about the error, should be fixed soon. Good point about letting people check the full list of providers! To the question about business model, all three of us agree wholeheartedly that free services rightfully bring a certain level of skepticism. All things considered we don't think it would be possible to charge for the app, but do feel there are not enough truly consumer-focused offerings in the…
"We don't have any plans to sell info in any regard and are under the impression that would require a direct opt-in from consumers if that offers any solace." This is interesting. Are you then not considering exposing APIs to anonymous data or such like?
Like you say, anonymizing data is nigh impossible, so I'd rather just avoid it entirely. Maybe local processing?
We are thinking a user driven OAuth style service would be valuable.

Yes, AWS started signing BAAs on June 18th, 2013. FireHost and Rackspace will also sign a BAA.
"AWS enables covered entities and their business associates subject to the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to leverage the secure AWS environment to process, maintain, and store protected health information and AWS will be signing business associate agreements with such customers."

> Name one person you know who has suffered from a severe medical condition who has not told their loved ones.
Outside of people involved in the medical treatment (who would be prohibited from naming them by HIPAA), the fact that they haven't told their loved ones would mean that other people wouldn't really be able to name them, generally.
That doesn't mean they don't exist.
