Epic Systems, a major US health records company, is under antitrust investigation by the Federal Trade Commission for possibly restricting data access to competitors and maintaining market dominance in electronic health record systems.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Healthtech Infrastructure. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new regulatory barrier in healthtech data sharing as Epic’s FTC probe signals heightened scrutiny on data access controls. Expect clients and partners to demand clearer interoperability or shift loyalty to platforms without restrictive practices.
