The U.S. House of Representatives July 10 passed its version of the 21st Century Cures Act (H.R. 6), designed to improve the U.S. healthcare innovation infrastructure. It was approved in a bipartisan vote of 344-77. The bill calls for providing resources to researchers working on next-generation medical devices and therapies.
