FCC Urged to Investigate Wearable Health Devices
The Senate Committee on Aging expressed concern that personal data from monitoring devices is being used by China.
WASHINGTON, June 22, 2026 – The Federal Communications Commission has been urged to assess the potential national security risks of Chinese manufactured modular transmitters embedded in health wearable devices.
In a letter to the FCC on Thursday, members of the Senate Special Committee on Aging, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. and Sen. David McCornick, R- Pa., expressed their concerns over the devices because one of China’s dominant cellular Internet of Things manufacturers, Quectel, was added to the 1260 H List.
