JAKARTA - A number of major technology companies, including Apple, support the United States federal government's efforts to transform the way patients access and manage their health data.
According to an announcement from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on Wednesday, July 30, Apple joined more than sixteen companies, including Amazon, Alphabet, Anthropic, and OpenAI, in the initiative to modernize healthcare infrastructure in the US. This program is part of Donald Trump's administrative agenda aimed at improving health services through better data sharing and digital access.
CMS states that the main focus is on providing greater control to beneficiaries of Medicare through modern health technology. Some of the new tools under development include artificial intelligence (AI)-based symptoms inspectors, digital registration systems, as well as applications to manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and obesity. All platforms involved are required to comply with CMS interoperability standards to ensure safe exchange and access to health data.
Participants have committed to using secure digital credentials to access CMS Alligned Networks that meet the criteria for sharing new data. This infrastructure is designed to support tangible results, not just pilot programs.

The Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., called this initiative a response to data barriers that have long existed in the health system. Meanwhile, CMS Administrator, Dr. Mehmet Oz, sees this step as an important change after decades of stagnation in health innovation.
The government stated that this change would "end the classic era" by removing paper-based registration forms through a digital check-in system. AI-based tools will also help users evaluate symptoms, navigate treatment options, and schedule meeting appointments.
A total of eleven health systems, seven electronic medical record providers, and twenty-one networks have committed to meeting interoperability requirements. CMS expects measurable results from participating companies in early 2026.
