  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is bullish on health tech. Kennedy, President Donald Trump's pick to head the federal government's health agencies, wants to use artificial intelligence and telehealth to increase the quality of care for Medicare and Medicaid recipients while reducing costs, he told the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday.

The article from Politico's Future Pulse newsletter discusses Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s proposal to address the U.S. healthcare system's issues through technology. Kennedy, who has been critical of pharmaceutical companies and vaccine mandates, suggests using technology to enhance transparency and efficiency in healthcare. His plan includes implementing blockchain technology for a secure, transparent health data system, which would allow patients to control their medical records and potentially reduce costs by cutting out intermediaries. Additionally, he advocates for the use of AI to improve diagnostics and treatment plans, aiming to make healthcare more personalized and less profit-driven. Critics, however, question the feasibility and security of such tech-driven solutions, pointing to potential privacy issues and the complexity of integrating these technologies into the existing healthcare framework.
