To gain insight into the bill’s uncertain future, Fierce’s Annie Burky spoke with Deven McGraw, lead of data stewardship and sharing at medical genetic company Invitae.

And listen in on a snippet from a panel senior editor Heather Landi moderated at Digital Pharma East on leveraging digital health tools and social determinants data to improve patients’ health.
