Agentic healthtech vs. patient data privacy: the real tension

Healthcare is the most exciting and most terrifying space for agentic AI. The agents could genuinely help — but the data they touch is protected by HIPAA-level rules and patients don't get a second chance on privacy.

My blog post walks the HIPAA requirements applied to agent workflows: audit logging, access scoping, minimization. The hard part is agents' whole value is autonomy, and autonomy fights with control.

If you're building in healthtech, how are you threading this needle?

I wrote this up in more detail in the full blog post — AI for HealthTech: How Agentic Systems are Revolutionizing Patient Data Privacy — with the deeper context, data, and code. Give it a read if you're curious.
