Patient Device Data Access Act of 2025

# Patient Device Data Access Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Patient Device Data Access Act of 2025 would give patients greater access to data generated by medical devices they use, such as pacemakers, insulin pumps, and other implanted or wearable health devices. The bill aims to ensure that patients can obtain, review, and potentially share their device data with healthcare providers and other parties of their choosing, similar to existing rights patients have with electronic health records. **Who It Affects** This legislation would primarily affect patients who use medical devices, healthcare providers, device manufacturers, and hospitals. Patients would gain new rights to their device-generated data, while manufacturers and healthcare systems would face new requirements to provide data access and potentially modify how they store and transmit this information. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee (as of the information provided) and has not yet been voted on by the full House.

Sponsor Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) introduced it in the 119th Congress. Like all bills in committee, it would need to advance through the legislative process, including committee approval and a House vote, before it could move to the Senate.
