Facebook has been in talks with major medical institutions on distributing data to users and patients for a research project. This was accepted by the company itself after a news report by CNBC.

According to this media, the proposed plan aimed at a process to match the data of individuals on both platforms, which would be anonymous, to investigate how such distribution of information could provide personal care for the patient.

These talks, including American College of Cardiology, ACC, and Stanford University School of Medicine, were put on hold last month, according to a Facebook spokesman.

This has not advanced, it has remained in the planning phase, and we have not received, distributed or analysed any of any” data, the statement said.
