In recent decades, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have had a catalytic impact on the health sector by providing new opportunities for scientists and health professionals, as well as healthcare providers for the benefit of patients.
Innovations in the field of health span a wide range, such as e-Prescription, telemedicine, advanced electronic equipment and integration of robotics in surgical procedures, digital archiving and management of electronic medical records, as well as a variety of applications for smart devices (smartphones, smartwatches, tablets) which, under certain conditions, can provide vital health information. In addition, e-pharmacies, electronic platforms of diagnostic centers through which the patient can have direct access to test results and networks for sharing medical data on the progress of scientific research are added to this new medical context.
Following these developments, the European Union and the Member States have developed an expanded regulatory framework consisting of interdisciplinary fields of law in order to promote and safeguard Healthcare in our new digital era.
ALFALEGAL Law Office’s partners have years of and in-depth expertise on any aspect of e-Health-related activity, either on the part of occupational health and healthcare providers, or on the part of patients, as well as on the part of companies providing equipment, systems and support services in the field of Healthcare.
