Palantir: Coalition urges NHS organisations to refuse to use controversial tech giant’s software
Every hospital in England has been urged to disobey an NHS directive to use software operated by controversial US analytics software company Palantir.
A coalition of human rights, health and patient organisations, and unions sent out the plea to NHS trusts by email, out of concern over Palantir’s federated data platform (FDP).
They urged hospitals to not follow NHS England’s instructions to sign a memorandum of understanding to use the FDP, as set out in planning guidance issued in October.
