According to Detterman, many organizations are implementing complex security systems to protect information, which leads to a reluctance to cooperate and share data with other institutions. This, he noted, is related to the fear of violating laws.
"The lack of dissemination of medical information means that it cannot be fully utilized for treatment, the search for new methods, scientific research, or public health protection," he emphasized.
In the U.S., according to the expert, there are about 50-60 legislative acts that must be complied with to conduct safe business. Companies fear lawsuits and potential government investigations if they violate these laws.
Moreover, Detterman noted that some organizations prefer to keep personal medical data to themselves, as they hold high value and do not want to share them with competitors.
