Medicon Valley Alliance and Potter Clarkson would like to welcome you to a Good Morning Meeting 6th of February 2025.
Innovation in digital therapeutics is booming as the possibilities offered by AI, an increased appetite to work across technologies and the growing power of data look set to help this market’s value rocket from $6.5bn in 2022 to, according to projections, more than $8.6bn in 2032.
This growth will come from more new digital therapeutic solutions to help us battle diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, mental and behavioural health, hypertension, and insomnia and greater diversity in the scope of innovation with more software-based solutions, more wearables, more clinical decision support systems, more healthcare data mining software solutions, and more robotic surgery opportunities.
Intellectual Property (IP) will play a vital role in ensuring digital therapeutics have the greatest possible impact on global health. However, protecting digital health innovations isn’t straightforward.
Firstly, you must protect every aspect of an invention – the therapeutic, the software, the underlying algorithms, the data extrapolated and analysed and the clinical validation. Then you need to successfully tackle regulatory compliance, partnerships and collaborations and the construction of robust commercialisation and revenue models.
In this session we will explore all these issues and more, using a specially created case study to bring our practical tips into context as we show you how to identify, protect, exploit and enforce the IP that will ensure you maximise the impact of your digital health innovations.
