Requires medical device makers to let patients access their own device data.
The problem
Patients cannot easily access data from their medical devices like pacemakers or insulin pumps. Device makers control the data, limiting patient choice and portability.
The proposal
Forces medical device manufacturers to provide patients direct access to their device data in standard formats. Allows patients to share data with other doctors or companies.
The impact
Patients gain control over personal health data. Device makers must change operations. Healthcare providers get more data access options.
Patients own their medical information and can choose which doctors see it. This empowers patients to make better health decisions and switch providers more easily.
Doctors can access complete device data across different hospitals and clinics. This reduces duplicate tests and improves treatment decisions.
New companies can develop better tools to analyze device data. Patients get more choices and potentially better products.
Researchers can study device data patterns to improve treatments. Open data sharing leads to faster medical discoveries.
Sharing more medical data increases hacking and privacy breach risks. Patients' sensitive health information could be stolen or misused.
Device makers must build new systems to share data securely. These costs could be passed to patients through higher device prices.
New apps using device data might give wrong information. Poor data analysis could lead patients to make harmful health decisions.
Small device companies may struggle to meet new requirements. This could reduce innovation in the medical device industry.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
