Where you have been asked to provide your consent.
The information collected allows you to track your own health and, where applicable, for your clinical team to monitor you and your care, e.g. to reduce the risk of exposure to infections, monitor specific conditions or treatments and improve overall efficiencies. In certain circumstances, your clinical team may also access your health information via specific software that connects to the Huma app, so that they can see the relevant information that you upload or that is collected by devices linked to the app.
Once collected, health data may be aggregated with other study participants, however, all identifiable information, like your name, is removed.
The information collected can also be extremely valuable in helping to understand health conditions and diseases which is vital in the development of new and beneficial treatments and therapies.
