Advancing health technology and legislation
Creation, development and adoption of technology in the healthcare space is growing fast and showing huge potential.
From the rise of digital health (including health apps) and artificial intelligence, through to electronic records and data management to name a few, the range of technologies and innovative solutions coming through is widespread. They are redefining how healthcare professionals and patients work and interact with one another. This is enabling greater efficiency and creating opportunities to improve healthcare, from screening and diagnosis to the treatment of medical conditions.
We recognise the creation, development and adoption of such technology brings with it a myriad of legal issues and considerations. Wherever you may be in your business journey, whether you are an originator or user of technology, our lawyers can work with you to help you best navigate these legal issues and considerations including helping you to keep on top of the latest legal updates.

Our core healthtech legal services
Most healthtech involves the use of data in some shape or form. Ensuring you have the right access and that such data is being used securely and properly has always been of paramount importance. This is especially true where personal data is being processed due to the increased legal scrutiny and risks associated with sharing intimate, health-related information.
Whether you’re launching a new venture and need support with data protection and GDPR compliance or you’re an established company responding to a data security breach, our experts have the expertise to guide you through the necessary legal processes.

From disease prevention to data analysis, the integration of AI in the healthcare sector brings a variety of benefits and legal challenges. As healthtech lawyers, we have the experience and expertise to support our clients through this transitional period, acting on behalf of cutting edge AI providers to manage risk and exposure, so they can continue innovating.
We also advise on AI strategy and management, enabling companies to capitalise on AI technology, whilst navigating the implications on business systems, structures and behaviours.
