Health App Developers Class Action Lawsuit Investigation
Investigating a class action against three mobile health application developers, Cardiio, Matis, and Runtastic GmbH. Each company claims they can measure a person’s vital signs and other health indicators using only a phone’s camera and sensors without an external device. Consumers have complained that these three applications generate misleading results and have caused individuals to forego medical treatment based on the readings of the app. Additionally, these three apps employ a “default consent” approach to obtaining consumer’s health data and do not explain that some of the medical data is not protected by HIPAA. If you used Cardiio, Matis, or Runtasic and found the apps do not track your vital signs or other health indicators accurately, please contact us.
