I'm guessing there's no direct place for it there without reading email ( but even then your doctor should not be emailing you directly without a layer of encryption).

Probably it's more of a "hey if we stumble on it it's ours now". Like if you subscribe to a lot of parkinson's info they probably can safely assume you or someone you know has Parkinson's. And they'll use that to shove ads in your face.

Can't they read sensor data and infer certain conditions from that? For example if you have a limp or something?
