So much for the Helsinki Declaration

Patients can opt out by asking their physicians, in writing, to do so, they said. However even that approach would not prevent people's live data feed from being shared.

Which sounds like patients can't completely opt out, even if they jump through this hoop, though this may be moot since someone cannot give informed consent or not to something of which they are ignorant.
