It will be an invaluable resource for regulators and researchers looking to address the challenges produced by the technological advancement.' -- Fatima Kanij, Law in Context 'The act of providing health-related care is experiencing a technology-enabled consumer revolution that has only compounded in the time of this rarely experienced pandemic. In order to understand and thrive in these changing yet exciting digital times, you need knowledge, a reference, a guide and a plan for excelling. This collection of all-encompassing topics around digital health technology is a must read and can assist in creating a True North for those bold passionate individuals and businesses that will change the world and spark innovation in how we deliver and receive health-related care.'
--Samir Batra, BAHA Enterprises, US 'A valuable and timely addition to the literature, this book considers some of the most pressing issues facing those who practise, or are generally interested in, this rapidly developing field of law. Emerging technology offers unprecedented opportunities to transform the way healthcare is delivered, saving time, money and resources while also improving healthcare and wellness outcomes. But new healthtech also raises novel legal and regulatory challenges that we must grapple with if we are to assuage fundamental societal concerns around data privacy and ownership; avoiding designed-in biases; equitable access to healthcare; and how to innovate at pace without compromising end-user safety. Dr. Madir and her respected team of contributors traverse both the UK and international landscape with authority and insight.' -- Daniel Morris, Bevan Brittan LLP, UK 'A valuable and timely addition to the literature, this book considers some of the most pressing issues facing those who practise, or are generally interested in, this rapidly developing field of law.

--Daniel Morris, Bevan Brittan LLP, UK 'HealthTech provides a comprehensive accounting of the myriad legal issues that might affect health technology in practice, from medical devices to patient care, clinical trials and patient rights. The authors do an exceptional job explaining the future of healthcare for artificial intelligence and telehealth. If you are interested in the technology of healthcare, this book provides an excellent primer on the key issues that might affect your organization.'
--Charlotte Tschider, Loyola University School of Law, US 'As data-driven and innovative health technologies will increasingly determine the nature of integrated health services while necessarily demanding transnational cooperation, this book is on the spot: a profound cross-border analysis of key use cases in healthcare technology and regulatory frameworks covering current and future core issues. A must read for all forward-looking minds in the healthcare sector.' -- Fabian Raddatz, Labor Berlin, Germany 'This is a book which covers a wide range of topics relevant to HealthTech - from AI to data protection and from blockchain to medical devices regulation. It is ambitious in its vision, not shying away from covering areas which are still in a state of change and assessing the opportunities of HealthTech whilst also taking a cool eyed view of challenges such as slow procurement processes and the interoperability with legacy systems, which will meet with recognition by anyone who has spent time working in this sector. Its breadth and up-to-date content will make it a book to be kept at hand by lawyers, academics, investors, strategists, healthcare providers and suppliers alike. The book uses the example of Fintech as a thread running throughout - as a recent disruptor technology in a highly regulated sector this is a very valuable comparator. Lastly, the chapter on emerging markets strikes a particular chord in these times of global pandemic, where the interconnectedness of global healthcare systems has never been more apparent and the value of HealthTech tools (for example in track and trace apps) have shown themselves to be of huge significance in management of disease at a local and global scale.' -- Louise Fullwood, Pinsent Masons LLP, UK
