The Trump administration said on Wednesday that it secured commitments from Google, OpenAI, Amazon, Anthropic, and Apple to start building a digital health ecosystem.
The efforts will focus on two areas: creating a framework for patients and providers to easily share information, and creating more personal tools so patients can access resources needed to stay informed about their health. Such tools include apps to manage diabetes and obesity, using artificial intelligence as assistants to perform tasks like checking symptoms and scheduling appointments, and finding ways to reduce the amount of paperwork associated with medical appointments by digitizing some tasks.
Democrats and Republicans have tried before to make data sharing in the U.S. health system a more seamless experience, Bloomberg reports, though the technology was never quite up to par. Over 60 companies have said they will work on the new health effort and results are expected in early 2026.
