MIRACLE Medical Technology Act of 2025

119th Congress Introduced Jan 23, 2025

Summary

What This Bill Does

The MIRACLE Medical Technology Act of 2025 directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, CMS technology leadership, and FDA, to run a program facilitating United States-Israel collaboration on the development and delivery of health care products and services. The program covers joint research projects, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biological products, genomics, digital health, health systems management, early-stage clinical trials, biological product manufacturing, health-data sharing with the Israeli Ministry of Health, startup collaboration, technology acceptance, technology transfer, joint ventures, innovation hubs, cybersecurity standards, patient privacy, intellectual property protection, regulatory harmonization, biological product data protection, medical device commercialization, possible mutual recognition for pharmaceutical good manufacturing practices, confidentiality commitments between FDA and Israeli regulators, Project Orbis oncology submissions, clinical-care best practices, telemedicine, interoperability, disease prevention, vaccine development, epidemiological data sharing, joint manufacturing facilities in the United States, healthier nutrition sources, workforce training, exchange programs, supply-chain resilience, and public-private partnerships. HHS may establish a joint United States-Israel Health Care Collaboration Center in the United States, must begin implementation within six months, and receives an authorization of $8 million per year for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.

Who Benefits and How

U.S. medical device firms, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, digital health startups, universities, national laboratories, Israeli health care companies, and research institutions benefit from coordinated research, technology-transfer, regulatory, manufacturing, and commercialization pathways. Patients may benefit indirectly if collaboration accelerates treatments, diagnostics, biological products, telemedicine, vaccines, and oncology product review. U.S. manufacturing and supply-chain actors may benefit from joint biological product manufacturing and resilience planning.

Who Bears the Burden and How

HHS, Commerce, CMS, FDA, and other federal officials must coordinate the program, consult with Israeli counterparts, address privacy and cybersecurity standards, work on regulatory harmonization, support health-data sharing frameworks, begin implementation within six months, and potentially operate a collaboration center. Federal taxpayers bear the $8 million annual authorization for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. Participating companies and institutions may need to comply with data-sharing, intellectual-property, privacy, cybersecurity, regulatory, and confidentiality requirements.

Key Provisions

  • Directs HHS to coordinate United States-Israel collaboration on health care products and services with Commerce, CMS technology leadership, and FDA consultation.
  • Supports joint research, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, biological products, genomics, digital health, early-stage trials, technology transfer, and innovation hubs.
