Listen "The problem with health data"
Episode Synopsis
Calorie counters. Sleep trackers. Health apps. They all gather a lot of data on you — and there's a decent chance they're selling it. Future Pulse author Mohana Ravindranath talks with Dispatch's Jeremy Siegel about a story she co-reported with POLITICO's Katy Murphy on who's tracking the health trackers. (This is a rebroadcast from January 28, 2021.)
