So are period tracking apps protected by HIPAA?

月经追踪应用受 HIPAA 保护吗？

I wanna talk about the period tracking apps, and I wanna talk about HIPAA.

我想谈一谈月经追踪应用和健康保险流通与责任法案(HIPAA)。

HIPAA alert - Yes HIPAA breakage alerts.

- HIPAA 警报 - 是 HIPAA 破损警报。

HIPAA applies to both health care providers and what's called business associates.

HIPAA 适用于医疗保健提供者和所谓的商业伙伴。

It's part of our quality-management policies, as you have to have when you're HIPAA compliant.

Under HIPAA, these business associates have to get consent from patients to use their data for marketing purposes.

根据 HIPAA，这些业务伙伴必须获得患者的同意才能将其数据用于营销目的。

This consent form is required under HIPAA, which is the federal law that governs the use of patient health information.

HIPAA 是管理患者健康信息使用的联邦法律，需要这份同意书。

We don't allow recording in hospitals like this, mostly because it also records other patients in the area and that's HIPAA.

- 我们不允许在医院进行这样的录音，主要是因为它还会记录该地区的其他患者， 这就是 HIPAA。

And in terms of that, the thing to keep in mind was that marketing under HIPAA does require explicit written patient authorization.

就这一点而言，需要记住的是，根据 HIPAA 进行营销确实需要患者明确的书面授权。

No. So HIPAA is a law that basically says, you know, your healthcare provider can't share your healthcare information without your consent, but a period tracking app does not count as a healthcare provider.

不。作为法律的 HIPAA 规定，医疗服务提供方不能未经你许可而分享你的医疗信息，但月经追踪应用并不算医疗服务提供方。

Of course, just because a company is technically HIPAA compliant doesn't mean that patients understand exactly what their options are or that they welcome personalized advertising in a place as sensitive as a doctor's office.

当然，仅仅因为一家公司在技术上符合 HIPAA 并不意味着患者确切地了解他们的选择是什么，或者他们欢迎在像医生办公室这样敏感的地方进行个性化广告。
