TechLaw Events

Information communications technologies and data are now among the tools that doctors and patients frequently use to diagnose or treat health problems, and by all accounts, the use of Big Data, AI, telemedicine, and other information technologies is sure to grow. However, as information technologies begin to encroach on spaces and decisions traditionally inhabited by doctors, pharmaceutical drugs, or invasive tests, they are subjected to the same regulations that have constrained physicians and pharmaceutical companies in the past. In this workshop, scholars, practitioners, and regulators will explore whether and how well the regulatory methods and rationales developed during the industrial economy fit the information economy. By the end of the conference, we hope to identify a few promising areas where legislation or strategic litigation can most improve the health regulatory status quo.
