Designing Legal Solutions for the Disruption of Digital Healthcare

Activity: Talk or presentation typesLecture and oral contribution

Marcelo Corrales Compagnucci - Speaker

The use of digital technologies in healthcare is changing how medical treatments are developed by researchers, applied/practiced by medical professionals and experienced by patients. A defining feature of this disruption is the emergence of new medical “apps” that leverage algorithm-based AI systems. As the use of such apps and AI wearables goes mainstream and new players—notably “Super Platforms” with digital rather than a medical expertise—enter the healthcare sector, the traditional means of providing medical services will be further transformed. These developments pose a number of challenges for regulators and other policymakers, most obviously, in the context of privacy and data protection. In this presentation, we will examine how the emerging field of Legal Design can provide a more transparent infrastructure that embeds relevant legal protections in the user interfaces of healthcare products and services. The presentation will conclude with some examples and reflections on the challenges specific to implementing Legal Design in an eHealth context.
