[projectvrm] CVS, VRM and the Twilight Zone

["T.Rob" < >]

Here's an odd article. The author posits all of the things CVS could do with data from its mobile drug interaction app, then CVS writes them to deny they do it. The author then follows up with quotes from the CVS privacy policy showing that they *could* do all these things, then wonders why they don't.

Hey, I've got an idea - maybe if my daughter (in school for medical sonography) uses the app to find out what meds have particularly adverse reactions to heroin. the app ought *not* to put "heroin" in her profile as something she's taking as the author suggests it should.

PS - Interestingly, Outlook's spelling checker suggestions to correct sonography include solography, nosography and zoography whereas Firefox's suggestions were iconography, steganography, pornography and selenography.  I like some of these.  Medical steganography: "we're going to hid the data in your spleen."  Medical pornography: like regular porn but the Resusci Anne doll and the life-size skeleton are the actors.  Or combine the two – hide medical pornography using medical steganography. 

 

Wow… where did all that come from?  Am I off my meds again?  Better check  my CVS app.
