Buyers beware
Lansky suggested consumers carefully consider the trustworthiness of companies offering PHR products and services.

"This is a case where you might want to read the privacy policies," he said. "It's a buyer beware thing."

Health-care-related companies are more likely than others to be subject to federal privacy laws, he said.

Also, because the industry is so young, few of the personal health record systems hook together information from every medical source, Lansky warned.
