In addition to reviewing privacy policies and enabling two-factor authentication, what other proactive steps can individuals take to protect their health data when using mobile health apps and online symptom trackers to communicate with healthcare providers?

In addition to reviewing privacy policies and enabling two-factor authentication, individuals can protect their health data by using secure and unique passwords for their accounts, avoiding sharing sensitive information over unsecured networks, regularly updating the apps and devices they use, and being cautious about granting unnecessary permissions to apps. It is also important to research and choose reputable and trusted health apps and providers, and to be mindful of the permissions and data access requested by these apps. Regularly monitoring and reviewing the data collected by these apps can also help individuals identify any potential security breaches or unauthorized access to their health information.
