DESCRIPTION

As healthcare embraces cutting-edge technologies, the legal landscape must adapt. This session dives into the intersection of digital health innovations—like smart hospitals, the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, and digital therapeutics—and the legal implications arising thereof. With big data’s rise, data integrity, cybersecurity, and patient privacy are more critical than ever. We will explore complex IP issues tied to biotech advancements and the legal frameworks for biotech research. As innovations cross borders, we will discuss global perspectives on licensing, ownership, and protection of IP rights protection. This session is essential for anyone interested in the future of healthcare and IP law in our interconnected, digital world.
