Ask HN: Frustrated with Health-Data Silos?

2•iaftb•8mo ago
I’m a practicing physician building an open-source prototype for unifying personal health data (wearables, lab results, patient-portal notes). Before I write any code, I’d like to hear from people who actually live the "health data scattered everywhere” problem.

What I’m looking for • You wear a tracker daily (Ōura, Garmin, Whoop, Fitbit, Apple Watch, etc.). • You log in to a patient portal or similar at least once a year to view labs / visit summaries. • You can spare 15 minutes for a Zoom call sometime in the next 10 days.

What’s in it for you • A $15 coffee gift card (or equivalent) as a thank-you. • No sales pitch—this is pure discovery.

Discussion topics (if we match) 1. How you use your wearable day to day. 2. Where you check labs/notes and what frustrates you. 3. Any “if only all this data lived in one hub” moments.

If interested, email simplehealth64@gmail.com with title “HN health data” in the subject; include your preferred times. I’ll reply within 24 hours with a calendar invite.

Happy to answer questions here as well—thanks!

This concept sounds like it has serious privacy and security issues. Where is the data being aggregated? Who has access to it? Who owns and controls it?
