Secretary Kenny, my first question is is
0:02
that there is a tremendous amount of
0:04
research that shows that greater
0:06
engagement with one's health leads to
0:08
better outcomes. In recent years,
0:11
American innovators have created and
0:13
improved wearable devices so that not
0:15
only are consumers able to better engage
0:18
with their health through monitoring
0:20
data, but they are able to share that
0:22
data with providers. I believe American
0:25
consumers in line with the 21st Century
0:27
Cures Act should be able to access these
0:29
innovative wellness tools. Secretary
0:32
Secretary Kennedy, do you agree that
0:34
consumers should continue to have access
0:36
to these tools? Absolutely. In fact,
0:40
we're about to launch one of the biggest
0:42
advertising campaigns in HHS history to
0:46
encourage Americans to use wearables.
0:50
It's a way of uh people can take control
0:52
over their own health. They can take
0:55
responsibility. They can see as you know
0:58
what food is doing to their glucose
1:00
levels, their heart rates, and a number
1:02
of other metrics as they eat it. And
1:05
they can begin to make good judgments
1:07
about their diet, about their physical
1:09
activity, about the way that they live
1:11
their lives. We think that wearables are
1:16
a key to the maja agenda, making America
1:18
healthy again. And we are going to we my
1:21
my vision is that every American is
1:24
wearing a wearable within four years.
