Calling it "another historic victory for the American people", president Donald Trump announced today at the White House a new private health tracking system that will allow patients to "easily transmit information from one doctor to another."
Trump called it a "next-generation digital health ecosystem," after securing partnerships with companies including Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Google, and OpenAI to better share information between patient and providers within Medicare and Medicaid services.
The Trump administration is also partnering with more than 60 companies to bolster how health information is shared electronically, including through the use of apps, along with beefing up the interoperability of health information networks, according to the (CMS).
"We have the tools and information available now to empower patients to improve their outcomes and their healthcare experience," CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
President Trump was also joined by HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who said in a statement: "For decades, bureaucrats and entrenched interests buried health data and blocked patients from taking control of their health. That ends today. We’re tearing down digital walls, returning power to patients, and rebuilding a health system that serves the people. This is how we begin to Make America Healthy Again."
Trump also said that healthcare providers will finally be able to "kill the clipboard".
