ABSTRACT


As biosensor technology becomes more embedded in healthcare and everyday consumer products, the amount of sensitive biometric data being collected is growing at an unprecedented rate. While these advancements offer exciting possibilities for health monitoring and personalized care, they also introduce serious concerns about data privacy and security. With data breaches on the rise, individuals face risks to their personal privacy, safety, and even autonomy. This article takes a closer look at how the United States and India are addressing these challenges through their regulatory frameworks. By comparing their approaches, we can identify both similarities and key differences in how each country protects biosensor data. While both nations have made strides in establishing legal protections, significant gaps remain, raising important questions about how to keep pace with this rapidly evolving technology.
