Patients uploading confidential medical records to public AI chatbots may inadvertently waive physician-patient privilege under Indiana law, analogous to recent federal decisions finding that voluntary disclosure of privileged information to third-party AI platforms destroys confidentiality protections.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Digital Health.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're building healthcare AI products, your users are destroying their own legal protections by uploading records to your platform—and you may be liable for the waiver. Add explicit privilege warnings and data retention limits to your terms now, or watch your customer base sue itself into oblivion.
