Thursday, August 13, 2026 | 1 pm ET | 1 CEU PMI/PAHCOM/AAPC (pending)

AI-powered wearables are transforming healthcare, but are your privacy and compliance policies keeping pace?

From smartwatches and fitness rings to insulin pumps, smart patches, and AI-enabled health devices, wearable technology is generating more health data than ever before. While these tools offer significant benefits for patient care and engagement, they also introduce new privacy, security, and compliance challenges that many healthcare organizations have yet to address.

Join us as we explore how AI-powered wearables are changing the healthcare landscape, what data is and isn’t protected under HIPAA, and where organizations may be unknowingly exposing themselves to risk. You’ll gain practical guidance for evaluating wearable technology within your compliance program, updating risk assessments and policies, and preparing your workforce to safely manage this rapidly evolving technology.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Understand how AI-powered wearables are changing the collection and use of health data.
  • Learn the difference between HIPAA-covered and non-covered wearable data, and why it matters.
  • Identify privacy, cybersecurity, and legal risks associated with AI-enabled wearable devices.
  • Discover how wearable technology can impact your organization’s HIPAA Security Risk Assessment.
