HealthEngine supplying patient data for targeted advertising: report

Online appointment booking service HealthEngine has been supplying personal medical information captured from users of its appointments app to third parties, including personal injury lawyers, for targeted advertising purposes, according to the ABC.

The ABC revealed today that it has obtained private documents from law firm Slater and Gordon that show HealthEngine passed on the details of up to 200 people a month during a “referral partnership pilot” last year.
