In our second blog post on privacy, we tackle the topic that the entire health care industry has stayed quiet on: sharing data with Facebook. We cover how Facebook advertising works, how your health apps may be sharing your data with Facebook, and what you can do about it.

But the responsibility of safeguarding your health data shouldn’t lie entirely on your shoulders. We’re challenging all digital health companies to step up.

With data privacy once again coming into the spotlight, we developed Your Privacy Checklist to help you navigate the complex world of health apps, so you can be in the driver’s seat for your health data.

Christina, Head of Growth of Folia Health, shares about her family’s recent hospitalization.

We proudly announce that today we become, to our knowledge, the very first digital health company to recognize the enormous contributions that patients and caregivers can make to our collective healthcare dataset through a data dividend.

Economists have been making lots of noise lately about what digital data ownership means.

At Folia, we don’t like the term “treatment adherence.” Yes, it’s a standard term across the healthcare ecosystem, and is definitely an improvement on the old “treatment compliance.” However, the concept of adherence still suggests a paternalistic line of thinking, that people who don’t follow prescribed treatment plans must be irresponsible, lazy, defiant, or indifferent.

The future of precision care is up to you, and it’s easier to help than you think.

We are excited to share an exciting milestone: you have answered more than 100,000 questions!

The 100,000 questions represent a body of knowledge that was previously inaccessible to clinics and unable to be used by researchers to find a cure for cystic fibrosis. Your knowledge matters.

Let’s harness the power of your many observations and take the next big step toward data-driven care.
