The new data controller is aware of the principle of purpose limitation and is unsure whether he can use the previous data collected without obtaining further consent from patients.

Additionally the centre received a request for data from one of its patients who wants to change her doctor and wants all data gathered from a wearable medical device that the patient was given to use at home to monitor the effects of her medication, to be sent to her new doctor. Since the device does not belong to the patient and the medical centre fears losing the patient the data controller is not sure what to do and seeks your advice. Please cite all relevant legislation when giving advice.
