WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Trump administration is launching a private health tracking system in collaboration with more than 60 technology companies, with Google and Amazon among the participants, officials said Thursday.
Government and tech leaders met at the White House to design a “digital health ecosystem” centered on user-uploaded health data via new apps. The system targets wellness initiatives such as diabetes management and weight control using conversational artificial intelligence and QR-based interaction tools.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will oversee the program. According to agency officials, participation in data-sharing remains voluntary and subject to individual consent.
The government cited the goal of improving access to medical records and streamlining health monitoring through digital platforms. Tech companies will support app development, data integration, and user interface design.
Critics have raised concerns about privacy risks and ethical issues stemming from sharing sensitive health information with private entities.
Meeting organizers described the session as a coordinated effort to modernize healthcare delivery and enhance patient engagement. They emphasized that data protection measures will align with federal guidelines.
