" I've already joined one such scheme to track my own blood test results"

This means that the hospital's systems are linked to the network running the WiFi which is linked to the internet. So with a misconfigured router, or one with a security hole your blood tests are potentially accessible to the internet, and could potentially be deleted or changed from there. Doesn't this worry you a little?
