Unión Médica exige transparencia en manejo de datos por uso de IA en la CCSS | Teletica
The National Medical Union (UMN) is demanding a transparency report from the Single Health File (EDUS) regarding the sensitive data handling practices involved in implementing Lidia, a CCSS artificial intelligence system. This initiative arises from concerns over the potential irregular management of patient information and the urgent need to ensure that digital health records are robust, secure, and functional to support accurate clinical interactions and reliable population health analysis. The core issue highlights a critical regulatory gap in Costa Rica, where no specific laws currently govern the intersection of sensitive data, health records, and AI technologies. While the EDUS director notes that data protection agencies have been consulted, experts emphasize the absence of a legal framework regulating data crossing and AI application. This lack of regulation poses significant risks to privacy and accountability, underscoring the necessity for clear guidelines before scaling such technologies. This situation is highly relevant to the open_data movement as it illustrates the tension between leveraging big data for public health innovation and the imperative of data governance. It demonstrates that technical implementation cannot outpace legal and ethical frameworks. For open data initiatives to succeed, especially in sensitive sectors like health, there must be explicit regulations ensuring security, transparency, and user rights, preventing the exploitation of personal information under the guise of technological progress.
