The Trump administration is launching a new initiative allowing millions of Americans to upload their health data onto private tech company apps, promising easier access to records and wellness monitoring. The initiative, involving companies like Google and Amazon, focuses on diabetes, weight management, and AI-driven tools. While officials claim patient opt-in and data security, critics raise serious ethical and legal concerns about data privacy and potential misuse by both the government and private entities. The system, managed by CMS, will also recommend health apps on Medicare.gov, raising further privacy questions.
