From Selfies to CT Scans: Big Tech’s Grand Grab for Your Medical Soul
Now With Extra Presidential Pixie Dust
Well, well, well… it seems Big Tech has become our latest superhero, taking on the challenge of solving the perpetual mess that is medical records. So they’ve conquered our screen time, social lives, and even shopping habits, why not move on to healthcare, right? I’m sure this will only end spectacularly! sarcasm intended…
Here’s the headline: Trump’s AI Initiative is supposedly going to digitize our medical records, with a li’l additional help from Robert F. Kennedy Jr, and rain proud rainbows of health benefits on us all. If it weren’t for the compounding concerns about privacy, it might be as exciting as getting a free ride at Disney World.

Now, I understand that on the surface this idea seems bloody fantastic. After all, just imagine never having to remember your myriad of medical ailments, medication allergies, or scribble down your family history in a doctor’s office. Just by the click of a button, your medical history can be pulled up. So modern, so tech-savvy… it might even make Steve Jobs blush. But, wait a sec, there has always been a solid line between tech and personal information, right? Anyway, tin hats at the ready folks!
Now, don’t get me wrong—I’m no cape-wearing computer-science demigod (though I can sling enough code to be dangerous), and I’m certainly not a healthcare professional, yet I still harbor a healthy dose of skepticism—and a perfectly reasonable dread—about this shiny new venture. After all, who wouldn’t leap for joy at the thought of every intimate detail of their health history drifting around in “the cloud,” that mist-shrouded buzzword practically begging us not to trust it?
Perhaps if they proposed a middle ground where certain, select information can be shared, things might feel a little less dystopian. Yes, maybe my doctor needs to know about my high blood pressure, but does she really need access to that embarrassing case of athlete’s foot I had in college? Probably not.
But, as we keep plunging head- first into this digital age, we might as well all get comfortable with having our medical histories stored alongside our Amazon order history and Facebook cat videos. Seems healthy…
At the end of the day, the glaring issue here isn’t just about privacy, or the mingling of tech and healthcare. It’s about trust. The question is: Are we ready to entrust giant tech corporations with our most intimate medical details? Lying naked in front of them, metaphorically speaking. So far, my answer is firm, echoing no.
Welcome to the world of tomorrow where your personal life is in a brisk competition with your medical history for software supremacy. Sweet dreams, dear reader! Remember, every seemingly good tech innovation is only a tool, it can be used for both good and evil. And while big tech is busy reaching into our medical records, we better keep our eyes wide open, our minds critical, and our tinfoil hats at the ready. It’s bound to be quite a ride!
How comfortable are you with tech companies handling your personal medical records?
