Fitbit Agrees to Sign Business Associate Agreements and Take on HIPAA Compliance
Faegre Baker Daniels LLP Link to more items from this source
Sept. 21, 2015

"For a number of years, Fitbit avoided HIPAA compliance by not engaging in data sharing with health plans or healthcare providers. In a turn of events this week, Fitbit announced it will enter into HIPAA business associate agreements with covered entity health plans and self-insured employers that will offer Fitbit's wellness platform to employees and insured individuals. This means that Fitbit will have to implement the security controls required by the HIPAA Security Rule, but only with respect to data it is receiving from or collecting on behalf of covered entity health plans or healthcare providers."
