ZDNet interviewed emocha CEO Sebastian Seiguer and Ted Wager, Chief Information Security Officer at SAP National Security Services, on the importance of secure health technology. The topic has only become more urgent since UK telehealth startup Babylon Health suffered a data breach involving confidential patient information. “Breaches of confidentiality can have significant repercussions,” particularly if data is disclosed to someone like a patient’s employer, Seiguer said. “The onus is on companies to protect their end users; if they do not, the new consumer—the patient—will take their business elsewhere.”
