>The company plans to grab four categories: your sleep, your medications, your medical records, and your cycle tracking details. The company also said that humans (maybe Samsung employees and third-party contractors) will be able to review some of the data collected.

For your own sake... let them*

^* delete the data that is.^

    Just curiosity. How the hell is US medical system set up that it's even possible for a company thats not in any way related to health have acess to medical history and meds?

    Like my countries medical system is fully digitized, but there isn't even a way for a random company to acess this information.

    Fair, heart rate, weight and height would be considered as medical records. But meds? How can it figure that out if i don't specifically tell it?

    My theory is you could probably feed it your medical history yourself, or potentially speak with whichever hospital would have it and ask them to share it with Samsung

    When I changed dentists, I was told to ask my former dentist to give me my records to share it with them
