- [Limber: Remote Therapeutic Monitoring \| Net Health](https://www.nethealth.com/limber/): Net Health's Limber product page markets remote monitoring to clinics and states no door for an outside holder's outcome data

## Methodology

Each organisation's own US rehabilitation outcome registries and databases, the joint replacement registry and clinical data licensing marketplaces were read through estate-fetch and stored whole (sha256 on every row). For every page, five questions were answered from its own words: where its data comes from, the records it holds, on what terms, taking data now, in its words. Every stated answer carries the sentence it rests on, checked against the stored text; 'not stated' means the page read does not address the question. A organisation with several pages reads 'varies' where they disagree. 6 organisations, 7 pages.
