Digital Health

Digital technology is transforming healthcare, but with innovation comes regulatory complexity. Solutions that collect health data, support clinical decisions, or interact with patients may not only qualify as medical devices under the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) or In Vitro Diagnostics Regulation (IVDR), but also trigger obligations under the AI Act, European Health Data Space Act (EHDS Act), GDPR, or bring a company within the scope of Dutch healthcare law. Getting this right from the outset is not just a legal formality; it is a commercial necessity.

Our expertise

We help companies and healthcare institutions integrate regulatory compliance into their digital health strategies. Our team understands how the MDR, IVDR, AI Act, EHDS Act, GDPR, and national healthcare laws interact, and how to navigate that interaction in a way that enables rather than obstructs innovation.

How we can help

Not sure whether your digital health solution qualifies as a medical device or in vitro diagnostic? We help you find out and advise on the compliance obligations that follow. If your services may bring you within the scope of Dutch healthcare law, we assess what that means in practice, including any required permits and notifications. Privacy and cybersecurity are equally critical. We advise on GDPR compliance for patient data processing, data transfers, and cybersecurity requirements, and support you with incident management and reporting obligations in the event of a breach.
