Details about the Keynote:

Alison Macrina, Founder & Executive Director of the Library Freedom Project

Health Data Privacy, Patient's Rights, and Social Justice

Description: Health data is incredibly vulnerable information in the connected age. Security flaws in digital health services are rampant, the politicization of health care puts patients at risk, and most people don't know what their health privacy rights are -- and misinformation is abundant. But librarians can play an important role in connecting people to reliable health privacy information. Alison Macrina, director of Library Freedom Project, will speak on data privacy issues in health and medicine, and what libraries can do to help educate patrons about health privacy and their rights.
