Thibaut D’hulst, Malik Aouadi and Ossama M’Rini have authored the Trends and Developments chapter for Belgium in the Chambers Digital Healthcare 2024 Global Practice Guide (Guide).

The Guide covers 12 jurisdictions and provides information on legal, regulatory and policy issues affecting the rapidly developing global digital healthcare sector. It discusses issues key to the application of transformative digital technologies and data in improving healthcare services and outcomes, including wearables, implantables and digestibles, the role of AI and machine-learning-driven offerings, telehealth, the internet of medical things, data protection, and IP. Our team’s chapter explores the major trends affecting the digital healthcare ecosystem in Belgium and highlights the main challenges facing healthcare organisations and policymakers.
