Connected Health 2026: A Global Update

• We’re going global on connected health with a deep dive on how policy decisions in the U.S., EU, and UK shape whether innovators can build, deploy, and scale the tools patients rely on. We’re joined by Taylor Downs, ACT senior policy manager, for a focused conversation on the WEAR IT Act and what expanded HSA/FSA eligibility could mean for access to wearable-enabled health tech in the United States. Later on, your regular Tech Swamp hosts give a roundup of key global developments tied to standards, interoperability, and the tech policy shifts that determine whether connected health startups can actually scale at home and across borders.
