HealthTech

Recent advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, software and hardware systems, and mobile platforms and cloud computing have converged in the health care sector and are radically transforming conventional health care delivery models, for patients, providers, payors, and hospital systems.

HealthTech and Digital Health are exciting emerging frontiers in the health care sector. Mobile platforms, wearable devices, and mobile-based diagnostic devices can track and monitor remotely and, with the help of healthcare professionals, can intervene and remediate in various patient activities ranging from fitness and nutrition to medication adherence and assisted living monitoring, and from diagnostic testing to treatment recommendations. Propelled by the pandemic and the resultant need for remote behavior, other technological advances are driving new business models in such areas as telemedicine, online rapid diagnostic testing, remote patient enrollment, monitoring and reimbursement, accelerated drug discovery using AI and machine learning, digital therapeutics using software and game structures, predictive analytics for patient screening and behavior monitoring, and the production of precision medicine to improve patient treatment and outcomes.

For over thirty years, the firm has been a leader in advising and counseling emerging companies in technology, life sciences and health care, and continues to lead at the crossroads of the new frontiers of HealthTech and Digital Health. Our representation spans the spectrum of a HealthTech company’s existence, from cradle to culmination, including counseling on business and legal strategy, entity formation, venture capital financings, mergers & acquisitions, protection of patents and other intellectual property, licensing and strategic collaborative partnerships with larger enterprises in the health care industry, and patient and data privacy strategies and protection models. Our litigators are involved with commercial contract disputes with companies in these sectors, and our employment attorneys are actively advising management on best practices in the industry.
