The increasing digitization of health records in India presents significant data protection challenges. While digital health offers efficiency, it exposes sensitive patient information to breaches, potentially leading to identity theft and discrimination. Globally, millions of medical records have been compromised, with healthcare being a major target. India's data protection measures are still developing, with practices like sending reports via WhatsApp and storing records on free cloud drives highlighting vulnerabilities. Experts emphasize the urgent need for robust security systems and adaptation to evolving threats to safeguard patient privacy.
