The Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is critical for digital health (DH) firms.

While businesses increasingly leverage the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI), from wearables for health monitoring and self-care apps to machine learning analysis of medical images, compliance with the MDR becomes a top priority: many DH /AI devices will need to be certified as medical devices (MD).

However, this is not the only legal challenge for operators. DH / AI tools also require GDPR compliance and may pose critical product liability concerns. At the same time, such devices have the potential of disrupting traditional NHS governance models, but existing institutional arrangements seem to prevent the exploitation of their full potential. The webinar aims to clarify these aspects for the benefit of manufacturers, public health officials, counsels, and lawyers.
