WHAT IMPACT DO GDPR & DATA PROTECTION IN MEDTECH AND DIAGNOSTICS HAVE ON INNOVATION
27th June 2018 | 9:00 am
Designed to strengthen existing data protection, the GDPR has a significant impact, placing new obligations on medtech businesses as far as handling highly sensitive patient information is concerned. In fact, the GDPR states that collecting data from and for clinical trials increases the risk of the freedoms and rights of natural persons being infringed upon.
Since medtech companies require extensive preparation to adjust their data protection to new standards, and considering the mandatory nature of those standards as well as the looming penalties imposed on non-compliant businesses, how will the implementation of the new regulations affect innovation in medtech?
