Rep. Sherrill Introduces Patient Device Data Access Act to Give Patients Control of Medical Device Info
The Patient Device Data Access Act of 2025 is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It was recently sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for review. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
While giving patients their own data is popular, most bills introduced in the House never make it to a final vote or become law.
