Trump administration is launching a new private health tracking system with Big Tech's help
WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is pushing an initiative for millions of Americans to upload personal health data and medical records on new apps and systems run by private tech companies, promising that will make it easier to access health records and monitor wellness. Leaders from more than 60 companies, including major tech companies such as Google and Amazon, as well as prominent hospital systems like the Cleveland Clinic, will convene at the White House on Wednesday afternoon to discuss what the administration is calling a 'digital health ecosystem.' The new system will focus on diabetes and weight management, conversational artificial intelligence that helps patients, and digital tools such as QR codes and apps that register patients for check-ins or track medications. The initiative, spearheaded by an administration that has already freely shared highly personal data about Americans in ways that have tested legal bounds, could put patients' desires for more convenience at their doctor's office on a collision course with their expectations that their medical information be kept private. 'There are enormous ethical and legal concerns,' said Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University law professor who specializes in public health. 'Patients across America should be very worried that their medical records are going to be used in ways that harm them and their families.' Officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, in charge of maintaining the system, have said patients will need to opt in for the sharing of their medical records and data, which will be kept secure. Officials say patients will benefit from a system that lets them quickly call up their own records without the hallmark difficulties, such as requiring the use of fax machines to share documents, that have prevented them from doing so in the past. 'We have the tools and information available now to empower patients to improve their outcomes and their healthcare experience,' Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator for CMS, said in a statement Wednesday. Once the system is set up, popular weight loss and fitness subscription service Noom, which has signed onto the initiative, will be able to pull medical records, including labs or tests, of its users into its AI-driven analysis of what might help users lose weight, CEO Geoff Cook told The Associated Press. 'Right now you have a lot of siloed data,' Cook said. Patients who travel across the country for treatment at the Cleveland Clinic often have a hard time obtaining all their medical records from various providers, said the hospital system's CEO, Tomislav Mihaljevic. He said the new system would eliminate that barrier, which sometimes delays treatment or prevents doctors from making an accurate diagnosis because they do not have a full view of a patient's medical history. Having seamless access to health app data, such as what patients are eating or how much they are exercising, will also help doctors manage obesity and other chronic diseases, Mihaljevic said. 'These apps give us insight about what's happening with the patient's health outside of the physician's office,' he said. CMS will also recommend a list of apps on that are designed to help people manage chronic diseases, as well as help them select health care providers and insurance plans. Digital privacy advocates are skeptical that patients will be able to count on their data being stored securely. The federal government has done little to regulate health apps or telehealth programs, said Jeffrey Chester at the Center for Digital Democracy. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and those within his circle have pushed for more technology in health care, advocating for wearable devices that monitor wellness and telehealth. Kennedy also sought to collect more data from Americans' medical records, which he has previously said he wants to use to study autism and vaccine safety. Kennedy has filled the agency with staffers who have a history of working at or running health technology startups and businesses. 'This scheme is an open door for the further use and monetization of sensitive and personal health information,' Chester said. Amanda Seitz, The Associated Press

Is the Bug Bite Thing *actually* worth the hype?
The Curator independently decides what topics and products we feature. When you purchase an item through our links, we may earn a commission. Promotions and products are subject to availability and retailer terms. When it comes to mosquito bites, I've tried it all—anti-itch creams, cooling gels, you name it. But my bites? They don't mess around. Sometimes they swell up to the size of a loonie, and I'm left scratching like there's no tomorrow. I've been desperately hunting for a fix that actually works. Enter: the Bug Bite Thing—a little suction tool that's gone viral for all the right reasons. Story continues below advertisement This gadget first gained major attention on Shark Tank, where it earned a deal (and lots of buzz). Fast forward to now—it's a bestseller on Amazon with over 90,000 reviews and counting. Here's how it works: As soon as you feel that itch coming on, place the tool directly over the bite. Slowly pull up on the handles until you feel a light but firm suction (pro tip: it shouldn't hurt). Hold it for 10-20 seconds, then push the handles down to release. Repeat this 2-3 times, ideally right after the bite happens. The result? It sucks out the insect venom or irritant, reducing swelling and itchiness without any creams or chemicals. When I put it to the test during a weekend at the cottage (yay, mosquitos!), I was pleasantly surprised by the results. I was still able to see the bite on my skin afterward, but the itch? Practically gone. On a few occasions I felt the itch coming back, so I'd just whip the trusty gadget out and, voila, discomfort gone. No more tossing and turning at night or nail marks from scratching. The best part? It's compact and travels easily in your bag or carry-on. I've yet to use it on a bee sting—hopefully I'll never have to—but it's designed to offer the same calming relief for all bug bites. It's now a non-negotiable item in my summer survival kit.

Pura Scents recalling more than 850,000 diffusers as magnet issue may cause ingestion hazard
Pura Scents is recalling more than 850,000 diffusers because some magnets may detach and cause a possible ingestion hazard to children. The company is recalling about 851,400 Pura 4 Smart Home Fragrance Diffusers with detachable covers. It said an additional 1,100 were sold in Canada. Pura Scents said that the magnets on the inside cover of the product can detach, posing an ingestion hazard to children. When high-powered magnets are swallowed, the ingested magnets can attract each other, or other metal objects, and become lodged in the digestive system. This can result in perforations, twisting or blockage of the intestines, infection, blood poisoning and death. The company has received three reports of magnets detaching from the cover. No injuries have been reported. The diffusers were sold at Target, Scheels and other stores nationwide from August 2023 through May 2025 for about US$50. They were also sold online through Pura's website, as well as online at Amazon, Target and Scheels. Pura Scents is offering a free replacement cover. Consumers are advised to immediately dispose of the existing detachable cover and to keep the diffusers out of the reach of children and pets. To receive the free replacement cover, individuals may contact Pura Scents at 855-394-5292 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday. The company can also be emailed at replacement@ Consumers may also visit the company's website and click on 'Recall' at the bottom of the page for more information.
