The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has launched an antitrust investigation into Epic Systems, a major healthcare database company, over concerns that it restricts data access to hinder competition in the electronic health records market.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Healthtech Infrastructure, and 12 sources have reported it between 14 Aug 2026 and 18 Aug 2026.

Your access to healthcare data platforms just became a battleground. If you build tools reliant on Epic's systems, prepare for shifting gatekeeper rules and new competitive openings this year.
