Times Health is proud to announce that we have signed the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Health Tech Ecosystem Pledge, joining more than 60 leading technology and healthcare organisations that committed at the White House on 30 July 2025 to build a patient-centric, interoperable digital health landscape.
Why this matters
For decades, fragmented data and incompatible platforms have forced patients to navigate a maze of portals and paperwork. CMS’s new pledge outlines a voluntary Interoperability Framework and “CMS-Aligned Networks” that will let apps, EHRs and health-information exchanges speak the same language - securely, with patient consent, and without sacrificing privacy .
Times Health already delivers 24/7 AI-powered primary and specialty care through our mobile and web apps. By integrating with CMS-Aligned Networks, our LLM-based assistants will be able to pull a patient’s claims, labs, imaging and medication history directly into the chat, explain it in plain language, and guide next-best actions - all inside a HIPAA-compliant workflow.
Our commitments under the pledge
Standards-first engineering. We will adopt the CMS Interoperability Framework (FHIR R4+ profiles, modern OAuth 2.1 / OpenID) across our data pipelines and developer APIs.
CMS-Aligned access by Q1 2026. Times Health’s consumer and clinician products will be listed in CMS’s forthcoming Medicare app library and will query CMS-Aligned Networks for beneficiaries’ data on day one.
Patient-owned data controls. Every Times Health user will see a single toggle governing data sharing with third-party networks, underpinned by granular consent receipts and audit trails.
Equitable reach. We will publish Spanish, Hindi and Mandarin localisations and low-bandwidth interfaces to ensure rural and ageing populations are not left behind.
Research & transparency. Aggregated, de-identified outcomes data will be shared with academic partners to measure the impact of conversational AI on chronic-disease management and cost of care.
What’s next
Pilot integrations with two Medicare Advantage plans and a major EHR vendor will begin this autumn.
Provider-facing dashboards that surface AI-generated visit summaries and differential-diagnosis reasoning will enter closed beta in December.
Public documentation for developers building Times Health extensions will be released alongside our v3 API early next year.
Times Health looks forward to collaborating with CMS, fellow signatories such as Anthropic, Apple and OpenAI , and the broader healthcare community to unlock a future where every patient can understand and act on their health data—instantly, securely, and on their own terms.
