Tech Swamp

This month is we’re talking all things connected health, specifically our Connected Health Imitative (CHI). We sat down with ACT Senior Global Policy Counsel, Brian Scarpelli, and our Senior Director for Public Policy, Graham Dufault, to talk us through some regulatory and legislative telehealth updates. Also featured is Mark Liber, of member company Startup Health, to talk about the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) $100 Million Connected Care Pilot Program. We’re also talking the Trump Administration’s newest round of tariffs, 5g deployment, and Shark Week!

This month is Tech Swamp’s first ever cross over episode! We teamed up with Betsy Furler, of the YourAppLady podcast, to talk all things accessibility. ACT Executive Director Chelsea Thomas joins us to discuss our work and advocacy in accessibility, and Joel Thayer talks us though some of the accessibility panels at E3. We’re also talking Farm Bill (yes, it’s relevant), SCOTUS case Carpenter v. US, Del Taco, and more! Keep your eyes and ears peeled for the YourAppLady podcast featuring your favorite Tech Swampers, coming soon!
