Representative Chris Pappas has introduced a bipartisan bill aimed at strengthening cybersecurity to protect personal health information and ensure access to care. In addition, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is set to invest over $50 million to develop tools that can identify and fix vulnerabilities in hospital software. This initiative comes in response to recent disruptive cyber attacks on the U.S. healthcare system.
