Understanding “Health in All Data”

Our work is grounded in the social determinants of health, which consider the economic and social conditions that influence our health. 

This includes systems like social services, education, employment, or financial services to name a few. 

Within this context, data collected across these systems, such as purchasing history, fitness indicators and location data, can paint a picture of your health and may reveal intimate details about your life.

This information is increasingly sold to third-parties to target us with ads based on our preferences and ultimately profit off our personal data. While this seems harmless, the scope and reach of these practices are rapidly expanding – this practice can be used as a tool for surveillance and is/will disproportionately impact marginalized communities
