How does data portability impact patient consent and autonomy?
Data portability enhances patient consent and autonomy by giving individuals more control over their personal toxicological data. Patients can decide who has access to their data and for what purposes it can be used. This empowers them to make informed decisions regarding their health and participation in research. However, it is essential to ensure that patients fully understand the implications of data portability, including potential risks and benefits. Clear communication and education about data rights are vital to maintaining trust and ensuring that patients can exercise their autonomy effectively.
