Palantir to lose access to New York City hospital health data
New York City's public hospitals will not renew their contract with Palantir, which expires in October 2026. Since November 2023, the system has paid almost $4 million for a project to optimize insurance payments. Critics were concerned about access to patients' health notes and a clause allowing de-identified data to be used for purposes beyond research, even though the company and hospital leadership denied any risk of the information being passed to outside government agencies.
