Although the healthcare industry is often focused on the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and compliance with its privacy regulations, there are many companies that service HIPAA-regulated entities that are not subject to such HIPAA regulations themselves, such as consumer-directed digital health companies, including those providing healthcare-related or focused mobile applications. Given the complexities of complying with various privacy rules, for those working with the healthcare industry or adjacent industries, evaluating their own and their vendor’s compliance with laws when HIPAA does not apply should be an ongoing process as privacy laws evolve.

As we all try to keep up with the Metaverse and as the healthcare system wilts under a data deluge, the convergence of realities in a shared online space is not merely a chance for practitioners and patients to find each other and interact in new ways, it’s also a rare opportunity to help a new paradigm sprout. The answers to detangling some sticky wickets of Health 2.0, like ensuring efficient, secure communications and exchanges between participants, may share a common thread: clear out (not just debug) the cobwebs and flip the crypt.
As we discussed in Part 1 of this blog series, many SaaS providers are seizing opportunities to expand their offerings and become a go-to marketplace or network, but their original contract terms and procedures often don’t fit their evolving business models.

As more and more SaaS providers, in digital health, fintech, and other industries, look for ways to integrate with and offer third-party applications (in their quest for powerful network effects), they eventually reach a point where the reality contemplated by their original standard terms and the world (or metaverse) of their now-envisioned business model diverge.
