The idea of getting a detailed health scan before symptoms show up sounds useful, but I’m uneasy about how much personal data companies could collect from it. A scan might flag something harmless and leave people worried, or turn health monitoring into another subscription service. Who gets to control the data, and what happens if Spotify or its partner changes its privacy policies later?
