Can a medical office in the host country access an individual’s medical information and communicate with his/her physician if needed?
For participants with health-related concerns (such as epilepsy, lupus, diabetes, allergies and others) some Internet services offer the option to input and store personal medical information that can be accessed from around the world in case of an emergency. It may also be possible to upload participant files, including health information (with appropriate permission and security assurances) to the organization’s intranet for access. See the Website Resources listed below for more information.
