Patient Device Data Access Act of 2025
Current understanding
The Patient Device Data Access Act of 2025 (HR6117) would establish a right for patients to access data generated by their own medical devices. It was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce in November 2025 and has not advanced beyond referral. Specific scope (device classes covered, format/timeliness of access, manufacturer obligations, enforcement) has not yet been characterized publicly.
