MedSeal, Inc.

MedSeal, Inc. provides a software platform for healthcare providers to manage patient interactions and data. The service is designed for medical practices to modernize their patient intake with HIPAA-compliant digital forms, schedule appointments, and manage remote patient monitoring. Rather than selling data to the public, MedSeal functions as a service provider for the healthcare industry, processing and storing sensitive personal and medical information that patients submit to their doctors. The primary privacy risk stems from the centralization of this sensitive health data; a data breach could expose confidential medical records, creating significant risks for identity theft and fraud. This information could be exploited by malicious actors for targeted scams or extortion. Individuals can protect themselves by being mindful of the digital tools their healthcare providers use and reviewing the provider's privacy policies. Patients should inquire about how their data is stored and secured by such third-party platforms.
