And so I was like, can I take a screenshot and just share my most recent lab results with you?

And I was like, I cannot process screenshots in this way.

So I had to manually type last night all of my lab results into the Google Health Advisor and proofread my lab results.

And then it was like, hey, we've processed all your lab results.

Do you want to get an interpretation?

And then it kind of forgot.

that I had manually entered the last six months of lab results that I have, and I had to remind it that it did that.

So, you know, that's some friction that is there.

You should be able to share screenshots of your own data if that's what you want to do.

I think it's a healthy instinct to have.

And I think, you know, HIPAA, which is the health data privacy law that we currently have, I've said this for a long time, it's not fully adequate for wearable technology.

It's definitely not fully adequate for the AI health era that we are in right now.

I think it is very healthy to have skepticism with that.

I will say that part of the conditions for Google's acquiring of Fitbit is that Fitbit data does have to stay siloed and away from Google advertising.

That was the condition of that merger.

It is something that they have to uphold legally, which is a good thing, but I am not going to chastise anyone who is skeptical of that.

I think that is a healthy instinct.

Usually with health and something that I'm going to say is that you really have to weigh the pros and cons.

I think if you want to keep your data privacy and kind of exercise that to the furthest extreme, wearables are not for you.

Because HIPAA is not adequate.
