This timely book emphasizes the importance of regulation in enabling and channelling innovation at a time when technology is increasingly embedded in healthcare. It considers the adequacy of current regulatory approaches, identifying apparent gaps, risks and liabilities, and discusses how these might be collectively addressed. The authors present possible solutions that balance the protection and promotion of public trust in healthcare against enabling technological progress and disruptive innovation.



Offering both a theoretical and practical approach to challenges at the intersection of healthcare, law and technology, this thought-provoking book explores broad questions of regulation and innovation before analysing contextual applications of these topics. It moves from a wide-ranging consideration of the polycentric and changing nature of health regulation through to a more specific examination of topics including patient consent, the role of device representatives, privacy, artificial intelligence and big data.



Providing an international perspective, Technology, Innovation and Healthcare will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of health law, innovation, technology law, law and development and law and society. It will also be of benefit to lawyers, healthcare professionals, technology developers and policy makers, seeking to better integrate technology with healthcare.

Industry Reviews
'The authors summarize the challenges to managing technology in health care, explain how technology impacts care, and offer some exciting and innovative solutions. This is an interesting read for anyone contemplating a career in health care and those already in the field. Many current issues that impact everyday practice, such as data storage, patient privacy, beneficence, fair access to health care, patient autonomy, and professionalism and qualifications of health care providers, are explored. The text includes an excellent discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of technology for health care and addresses the regulations that guide innovative technology use so that laws protect both patients and providers. The role of regulations, national and international, is explained with equal attention to theory and practical rationale. In addition to its appeal for readers preparing for careers in health care, the book will interest policy makers and health care consumers. The text includes an excellent discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of technology for health care and health care consumers. The comprehensive chapter bibliographies will support any reader in delving into more detail as desired. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers.' -- S C Grossman, CHOICE
'This is an excellent analysis of the relationship between law, innovation, technology, medicine and regulation. The book deals with both generalities at the beginning, then more specific issues - such as AI and data - that are both important now and will become even more so in the future. I can highly recommend it.' -- Jose Miola, University of Leeds, UK
