Good question. HIPAA applies to covered entities (insurers, hospitals) and their business associates. We're neither - users are entering their information anonymously to do plan comparison. That said, we treat the data very carefully - we don't sell it, don't share it, and enrollment (where PII is collected) is on Healthcare.gov.

Thanks for the post - I put together the tool above. I tried to strike a balance between being concise but also capturing all the important details. For that reason, the tool is hit or miss on longer (> 45 min) videos - the summary on this video is good but I've seen it omit important details on other long videos. The tool also captures relevant screenshots for each section.

Hopefully it's helpful. You can summarize additional videos by submitting a youtube URL in the nav bar or the home page. Also, feedback welcome!

Should be in the ballpark of 30s to 1 minute. You should start seeing earlier parts of the summary faster than that though (< 10s). I am also working on improving chapter summary quality for long videos - sometimes too much content gets rolled into a single chapter.
