TIKI's Bi-Weekly Data Ownership Roundup

Moving On Up

Greetings TIKI tribe! A lot has happened since our crowdfunding campagin closed in late October. The biggest news for us is our move to Nashville, Tennessee! We’re settling in quite nicely (more on that below).

We’ve also moved our content here to Substack, where we’ll be sharing news from the data ownership world, as well as keeping you all apprised of the progress we’re making with the TIKI app.

You’re getting this newsletter today because you signed up on mytiki.com to get access to the beta app and stay apprised of TIKI’s progress. If you’re no longer interested, we won’t take offense. You can unsubscribe below.

If, on the other hand, you found us on Substack and want to subscribe, you can do that, too!

Who owns your #healthdata? Not you. Medical providers own your #medicalrecords - & those apps & wearables that track your food, fitness & more? It's probable those apps own that data, too. - via @statnews statnews.com/2021/11/15/its… #dataownership #fitness #app #tech

statnews.comIt’s time for individuals — not doctors or companies — to own their health dataOwning a copy of your health data does not change property law, medical record requirements, or hinder the advancement of science. But it does build health equity by giving everyone equal access to their lifetime medical data.
