Wake up folks, it’s more than funny— it’s frightening:

“Don’t Trust Dr. Oz-Founded Medical App With Your Reproductive Healthcare Data
The doctor co-founded and owned millions of dollars in Sharecare stock, a digital health company that has faced a data breach and legal complaints.”

“Dr. Mehmet Oz—a New Jersey resident running for Senate in Pennsylvania—is the co-founder of a digital health company whose app could potentially be used to track abortion patients. The TV huckster co-founded Sharecare in 2010 with WebMD founder Jeff Arnold and a consortium that included Oprah Winfrey.”

“This brings us to the app’s potential tracking concerns. Reproductive healthcare is one area patients can add sensitive data through Sharecare’s desktop and mobile tools. When you log into the dashboard, a number of typical, yet troubling, health categories pop up. First is medication, with a spot to add birth control and keep track of whether or not you’ve taken it. Sharecare also lets you add medications like levonorgestrel (the morning after pill), mifepristone, or misoprostol, which the company says is intended to help a patient make sure they’ve taken their meds. Sharecare’s apparatus leaves digital traces of your reproductive health care, making it yet another system that potentially puts patients at risk.“
