The rise of AI in healthcare demands a heightened focus on personal privacy. Many users unintentionally expose sensitive information that could jeopardize their data security. Ubie Health experts emphasize essential guidelines for safely utilizing AI for health queries.
First, eliminate personal details from your queries, as identifiers can create digital footprints. Instead of saying, “I’m a 34-year-old woman from Brooklyn,” use generic terms like “a person” or “a patient.”
Second, frame questions generally to significantly reduce privacy risks. For example, ask, “What are common treatments for chest pain in people with diabetes?” instead of detailing personal health issues.
Third, choose AI platforms that comply with privacy standards like HIPAA and GDPR, as only 23% meet these requirements.
Finally, clean all files before sharing, as hidden data can expose personal information. Utilize privacy settings to strip metadata. Following these tips helps safeguard your health privacy while benefiting from AI insights.
