Innovation, Regulation and Real-time Health Monitoring
Join a panel of expert lawyers for a practical and thought-provoking discussion exploring how innovation and regulation can co-exist in the rapidly evolving world of real-time health technologies, part of Glasgow Tech Week
Wearable devices and real-time health monitoring technologies are reshaping healthcare. By enabling continuous streams of health data, they are changing how patients are monitored and how clinical decisions are made, raising important questions around ownership, accountability and risk.
As organisations embrace these innovations, they must navigate an increasingly complex legal and regulatory landscape. Questions around data ownership, cyber security, liability and governance are becoming more significant as monitoring technologies play a greater role in healthcare delivery and clinical decision-making.
Drawing on perspectives from the technology, healthcare and life sciences sectors, this discussion will explore key issues including:
- Data ownership and governance within connected health ecosystems
- Cross-border data protection and information sharing
- Cyber security risks and their implications for patient safety
- Responsibility and liability when monitoring technologies are defective or cause harm
- The role of governance in supporting innovation and adoption

Through practical discussion and audience Q&A, our panel will explore whether regulation acts as a barrier to innovation or an enabler of trust, adoption and growth.
Chaired by David Gourlay, the discussion will bring together legal, healthcare and cyber security perspectives, with contributions from Jude McCorry, CEO of Cyber Fraud Centre Scotland, alongside Melissa Hall and Michael Vaughan, Legal Directors at MFMac.
