"Alphabet's health tech subsidiary, Verily, used the health data of more than 25,000 patients without authorization and actively covered up those violations, a former company executive alleges. The executive, Ryan Sloan, claims Verily fired him after he discovered breaches of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, and reported his concerns to the company's senior management. Patient data in the U.S. is protected under HIPAA, which ensures the sensitive information cannot be disclosed without a patient's consent."

Ryan Sloan alleges Verily used health data from more than 25,000 patients without authorization and actively covered up those HIPAA violations. Sloan says Verily fired him after he discovered breaches and reported concerns to senior management. U.S. patient data is protected under HIPAA, which prevents disclosure of sensitive information without patient consent. Sloan's claims are laid out in a pending federal lawsuit filed in San Francisco late last year. A judge denied Verily's request to dismiss the civil complaint or compel arbitration, allowing the lawsuit to proceed.
