Concerning the Book’s Theme
Healthcare Technologies and Law
- When it comes to digital health, the use of digital technology in healthcare has been characterised by productivity and individualised therapy for patients.
- Telemedicine, mobile health, health and wellness applications, medical imaging, big data and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT); robot-assisted surgery; self-monitoring medical devices; electronic health records (EHR); healthcare service aggregation; targeted advertising; personal genomics and individualised medicine; e-pharmacies; cloud computing; cloud computing services are among the rapidly innovative technologies in the Indian digital health sector (AI).
- The continuous flow of information and personal data between service providers and patients on health issues and advice necessitates the protection of personal data. The Information Technology Act of 2000, the Data Protection Rules of 2011, and the Intermediaries Guidelines of 2011 have all been made publicly available in this regard. Despite this, no standards requiring the use of data protection and security measures have yet been established.
- On December 11th, 2019, Bill 2019 for the Protection of Personal Data was introduced in the Lok Sabha for the first time. By establishing a Data Protection Authority, the proposed act intends to protect the privacy of individuals’ personal data. Regulations governing the safety, privacy, and confidentiality of patient health information must be strictly followed.
- Furthermore, the Central Government has recently taken steps to digitise healthcare, which has opened up new avenues for discussion. On September 27, India’s Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) was launched with the purpose of building a “inclusive and holistic” health-care model for all citizens. One of the project’s goals is to access and link personal information with a unique ID in order to build a long-term health history.
- According to the blueprint, the goal is to create a connected ecosystem of patient, health-record, and hospital databases based on the notions of unique IDs, privacy by design, interoperable data, and open standards.
- When analysing and interpreting data for market research, marketing, and regulatory interactions, enforcement must address privacy and infringement considerations. The protection of one’s personal data while it is being utilised and applied is critical. The primary contractual consideration is to enter non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with employees and other influencers involved in the investigation, and to provide solutions in the event of a breach of pre-defined contractual terms to ensure confidentiality and privacy at all stages of the investigation, from data collection to use.
- Furthermore, because medical equipment and various drug formulations require patent protection, healthcare technology are placed under intellectual property legislation. When AI and aided technologies are introduced and used in medical, the algorithms and software become subject to copyright protection.
- Social networking sites’ expanding significance and prominence have a harmful impact on the mental health of impressionable persons. On one one, social media use has a negative impact on people’s mental health, but it is also being used to support digital health care programmes and efforts.
- The complexities of attribution of liability for social media and associated technologies on individuals’ mental and general health can be investigated. The authors are inspired to explore the issue from a diverse or specialised perspective.
- The National University of Advanced Legal Studies, Kochi owns the copyright to the submission after it has been accepted and published.
