Health tech is on the rise and subject to ever changing regulation and restriction. These days your watch can tell you how you slept, how many calories you’ve eaten and how much exercise you’ve taken. In the future we will all rely heavily on both our own health tech devices that can be used in the comfort of our own home but also on our healthcare providers to use the best technology available to diagnose and treat us. Our global legal framework cannot keep up with the advances in technology in this sector. This brings a number of challenges to businesses developing products in the health tech market such as data protection and privacy, healthcare regulation, intellectual property and design rights, competition, medical negligence liability, software and licensing issues and individual patient rights and consents.
