	“Data security is of paramount concern. This is true to protect individual privacy as well as to control external access. Combining data from multiple and disparate sources certainly adds to security concerns, but it’s necessary to build the richest individual profile.

Companies that adopt and stay on top of data security best practices can scale to accommodate multiple data sources. In particular, training employees on security best practices as it relates patient health information.” - Swati Abbott, Chief Executive Officer, Blue Health Intelligence
