PHI
Protected health information (HIPAA)
PHI is individually identifiable health information held or transmitted by a HIPAA covered entity or business associate, in any form, that relates to a person's health, care or payment for care.
Data stops being PHI once it is de-identified by Safe Harbor or Expert Determination; the same information held by a consumer app outside HIPAA is not PHI, although other laws may still protect it.
