NCSCE and KQED are partnering on a new pilot project, Do Now U. Do Now U engages undergraduate students in online discussions about current scientific issues through the innovative use of social media.
The Do Now U post, “Is Storing Health-care Data in the Cloud a Good Idea?,” created by Southern Connecticut State University student Idris Hanafi, is now live on KQED’s website.
In the post, Idris explains the benefits of storing health-care data in the cloud, such as lower costs to hospitals and easier access to patient records by medical professionals, and the drawbacks, including reduced privacy and security.
