GOP Sens. Rick Scott and Dave McCormick called on the Federal Communications Commission to investigate national security risks posed by Chinese-made health wearables.<\/p>\n

In a letter sent to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr on Thursday, Mr. Scott of Florida and Mr. McCormick of Pennsylvania sounded the alarm over Chinese-manufactured health devices used by American seniors.<\/p>\n

The senators asked the FCC for a formal briefing and a review of whether certain products should be banned outright.<\/p>\n

The core concern is that China\u2019s domestic cybersecurity law compels Chinese companies to hand over data to the government on demand \u2014 meaning any wearable device made by a Chinese company could expose Americans\u2019 sensitive health data to Beijing without their knowledge.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the threat of Chinese health wearable data exfiltration affects all Americans, we are especially concerned about the risk to senior citizens who increasingly rely on specific categories of connected health monitoring devices primarily designed and marketed for their use,\u201d the lawmakers wrote.<\/p>\n

The senators\u2019 letter calls out six product categories for FCC review: personal emergency response systems, smartwatches & fitness trackers, remote blood pressure & cardiac monitors, continuous glucose monitors, smart hearing aids and home remote patient monitoring devices.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re the very devices that determine whether a senior gets emergency medical care, whether their medication is working and whether they\u2019re safe to remain in their own home.<\/p>\n

Mr. Scott and Mr. McCormick requested an FCC briefing for the Senate Aging Committee and an assessment of whether these products and their components should be added to the FCC\u2019s Covered List of prohibited equipment, with a response deadline of July 15.<\/p>\n
