<h1>Digital health platform appoints former senior public official as strategic advisor, prompting post-employment ethics review (18 U.S.C. §207)</h1> A leading digital health platform announced the appointment of a former senior public official, who previously led national health programs and digital public infrastructure, as a strategic advisor to provide policy and strategy counsel. The move raises typical legal considerations: applicable post-employment ethics and cooling-off restrictions, potential conflicts of interest if the advisor engages with former agency counterparts, data-protection and procurement compliance in any collaborative projects, and transparency obligations for public-private engagement. The announcement contains no allegations of wrongdoing and does not disclose contractual terms, compensation, or specific advisory powers.
