Summary judgment · 66 out of 100 toward patient-directed

Direct Ada assessment, partner-embedded Assess, and US advertising-segment consent must be distinguished.

Mixed, potentially agency-expanding

Ada’s direct assessments differ from partner-controlled sharing and decisions. Its US policy describes consented health-derived marketing segments. Removing an existing segment requires a separate request, beyond changing the consent setting.

Patient agency

How this tool changes agency

Expands agency when

Reports support reflection and action. Correcting personal data and contesting an institution's consequential decision are separate routes, and actual report-level revision remains untested.

Limits agency when

In-app consent comprehension, report correction and partner alternatives remain unverified

Patient agency assessment

Who sets and changes the goal?

Patient authority

Direct assessment can support self-directed care seeking. Mandatory sharing in some integrations is an actual deployment condition, while partner routing decisions are not attributable to every consumer assessment.

What can the patient understand, question, or do?

Critical capacity

Reports support reflection and action. Correcting personal data and contesting an institution's consequential decision are separate routes, and actual report-level revision remains untested.

Can the patient evaluate the conditions of use?

Informed control

The separate segment-removal action materially affects meaningful withdrawal. Pseudonymization should not be described as the absence of health-derived commercial targeting.

No live product testing. Numerical scores remain provisional editorial placements, not a new calculation.
