White House Launches Health Information Sharing Initiative

Contact Your Elected Officials

The Making Health Technology Great Again initiative aims to make personal health data accessible and useful to patients.

Freedom of health information is the focus of a new health initiative announced by the White House on July 30.

Making Health Technology Great Again centers on giving patients full access to their own health records and making the data useful for both doctors and patients in managing disease.

โ€œFor decades, Americaโ€™s healthcare networks have been overdue for a high-tech upgrade, and thatโ€™s what weโ€™re doing,โ€ President Donald Trump said while introducing the initiative.

โ€œThe existing systems are often slow, costly, and incompatible with one another, but with todayโ€™s announcement, we take a major step to bring healthcare into the digital age, something that is absolutely vital,โ€ Trump said.

The effort has two aims. First, to create a secure network for sharing health information. Second, to create digital tools that make it easier for people to access, share, and make decisions based on their health information.

Major technology firms, including Amazon, Anthropic, Apple, Google, and OpenAI have signed on to the program.

Trump announced the initiative, flanked by Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Also participating were David Sacks, chair of the Presidentโ€™s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology, and Amy Gleason, a strategic adviser to the Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services as well as DOGE

To illustrate the vision for the project, Gleason shared the story of her daughter, Morgan, who suffers from a rare disease and is treated by a dozen doctors who have prescribed more than 20 medications.

Struggling to manage her medical treatment, Morgan uploaded her health data to an AI assistant to find out what it might say.

โ€œWhat it found stunned us,โ€ Gleason said. โ€œA critical discrepancy in her diagnoses that could make her eligible for a clinical trial. The first real hope weโ€™ve had in over 15 years.โ€

Kennedy said, โ€œWeโ€™re tearing down digital walls, returning power to patients, and rebuilding a health system that serves the people. This is how we begin to Make America Healthy Again.โ€
