Also, if you are developing this application for use within the USA, be
sure that you are not capturing or storing data that would fall under the
HIPAA definition of personal medical data. If it does, your legal
compliance responsibilities and liabilities will skyrocket.

I'm not a lawyer, so I can't say for sure whether or not these data fields
would be considered under HIPAA, but a compromise of medical data is
extremely expensive, and I believe you can be held personally liable in
some cases, even if developing for an employer.

If not in the US, there may be other regulations.
