Trump administration to launch new private health tracking system with Big Tech's help
New York: The Trump administration is launching a new private health tracking system that asks Americans to share their personal health data and medical records with private tech companies. Officials say the system will broaden access to health records, provide digital tools to help manage diabetes and other conditions, and make monitoring wellness easier. Experts caution that there are a number of ethical and legal concerns. The initiative, spearheaded by an administration that has already freely shared highly personal data about Americans in ways that have tested legal bounds, has been met with concern from digital privacy activists. Trump talks up new medical records push at White House event "For decades, America's health care networks have been overdue for a high tech upgrade," the president said in at the White House, where he hosted the event to talk about the administration's effort to streamline medical records. "The existing systems are often slow, costly and incompatible with one another, but with today's announcement, we take a major step to bring health care into the digital age." The effort would allow major health care and tech companies to agree on standards for electronic medical records in hopes they will seamlessly transfer between doctors. Trump said the guidelines will also make it simple for patients to access their records. Trump boasted that health care providers will "finally be able to kill the clipboard," referring to the physical pieces of paper on clipboards that patients fill out at doctors' offices. Companies represented in the crowd of about 200 people included Apple, Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and Amazon.
