Concerns Over Palantir’s Role Raise Data Sharing Worries in NHS Research

Health innovation minister James Frith has expressed concerns that public mistrust of the US-based tech company Palantir could lead to patients being less willing to share their data. This unease comes as recent data reveals a significant increase in the number of NHS patients choosing to opt out of research data sharing programs. The minister highlighted how such distrust might negatively impact ongoing and future NHS research efforts.
