John Volock

Topic: Selling Patient Privacy for EMR and Profit

Abstract

COVID revolutionized healthcare; small clinics went from EHRs & EMRs being internally used, and telemedicine being a nice to have, to all three being vital ways to treat patients and stay in business. At the same time  costs skyrocketed, profits decreased; luckily capitalism stepped in to save the day with free or low cost EMR solutions. Was this business benevolence, or a Faustian bargain? Did treating people remotely ending up costing us our common sense  and patient’s privacy? Let’s talk about the part of the industry with far less oversight and scrutiny, but that may affect just as many people.

Speaker's Biography

John is currently the “Head of Fun” for Biohacking Village, and in his day to day works for Medtronic as a Product Security Engineer on their cardiac devices. John has spent his career across various parts of the Safety Critical Industry: Planes, Trains, Automobiles, Industrial Controls and Medical. DevOps, Firmware, Software or Systems, he's done it. His general approach is trying to take a holistic view of a system, then drilling down deep into the technical weeds. Having health issues himself, he likes to address issues regarding patient perspective, in addition to the traditional views from HDOs, MDMs, and Regulators.

In his spare time, he likes to pick locks and break things. Assumptions, edge cases, and thinking through system failure, is his happy place. Always looking for the next puzzle.

Known to convert mainframes into kegerators.
