The system will focus on diabetes, weight management, and digital tools for patient check-ins.

The Trump administration announced it is launching a new program that will allow Americans to share personal health data and medical records across health systems and apps run by private tech companies, promising that will make it easier to access health records and monitor wellness.

More than 60 companies, including major tech companies like Google, Amazon and Apple as well as health care giants like UnitedHealth Group and CVS Health, have agreed to share patient data in the system. The initiative will focus on diabetes and weight management, conversational artificial intelligence that helps patients, and digital tools such as QR codes and apps that register patients for check-ins or track medications.

“For decades America’s health care networks have been overdue for a high tech upgrade,” President Donald Trump said during an event with company CEOs at the White House on Wednesday. “The existing systems are often slow, costly and incompatible with one another, but with today’s announcement, we take a major step to bring health care into the digital age.”

The system, spearheaded by an administration that has already freely shared highly personal data about Americans in ways that have tested legal bounds, could put patients' desires for more convenience at their doctor’s office on a collision course with their expectations that their medical information be kept private.

“There are enormous ethical and legal concerns,” said Lawrence Gostin, a Georgetown University law professor who specializes in public health. “Patients across America should be very worried that their medical records are going to be used in ways that harm them and their families.”

Officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, who will be in charge of maintaining the system, have said patients will need to...

What fresh hell is this?

Long Hillary’s dream, but okay because it is under Trump?

Not to me.

“What fresh hell is this?”

Basically it’s a way to start turning Traditional Medicare into HMOs, or at least PPOs.

It needs to be STOPPED.

This is the most significant domestic action of a Trump administration. How this is implemented will be interesting.

There are 2 parts: 1) The private, personal data of each person.

2) The aggregate statistical data and how it is framed. In this latter data the 340 million public is currently at a disadvantage with the 1 million with access to aggregate data.

Does the public realize the inequality of healthcare spending? Those with bad lifestyle choices are the cause of most healthcare spending. HIV, STDs, smoking, gluttony, reckless driving, DUI ..sin... disproportionately consume our money and most do not realize it.

Will the aggregate numbers be presented in a way that truly reflects reality? Of will bias dictate How to Lie with Statistics.

Issue #1, Privacy is currently controlled by HIPAA. Will that be changed...or ignored?

Bet the contract is with Peter Theil and Palantir. They already run the database for all Covid-19 vaccinations and the database for all UK National Healthcare.

They also run the database for immigration.

He does anything big tech says now. There’s a gullible part of him that he thinks this will be some awesome thing that regular people will be thrilled about.

It’s just more data mining and money grubbing from his tech bro buddies.

Sounds intrusive.

That being said, often getting a good diagnosis and effective treatment for same can be very problematic.

This is why people can’t always be honest with doctors anymore. There really no is any doctor patient confidentiality anymore.

I don’t want my health tracked by anyone. I want what we used to have — a private medical practice with a doctor who would listen to you, not throw you out after 7 minutes, take a few notes by hand, and care about how to help you.
