Digital health

Digital health is reshaping modern healthcare by enabling smarter prevention, diagnosis, and management of health conditions. With rapid advances in data-driven tools, personalised medicine, and software-based solutions, healthcare delivery is increasingly reliant on connected, intelligent systems that deliver the right care at the right time.

At HGF, we specialise in helping digital health innovators navigate the complex IP landscape that surrounds software and data-centric technologies and obtain valuable IP protection for their innovations. Our expertise spans key areas including:

  • AI-powered diagnostics and clinical decision support systems
  • Mobile and wearable health technologies
  • Digital therapeutics and remote care platforms
  • Clinical data interpretation and medical imaging enhancement

Whether you’re a startup launching a mobile health app or a multinational scaling a platform for AI-based diagnostics, protecting your innovation is essential. Our attorneys understand the nuanced patentability requirements and considerations for software and algorithms in different jurisdictions, ensuring your IP strategy is future-proof and commercially aligned.
HGF offer a holistic range of IP services tailored to your business goals and timelines. Our cross-sector teams combine deep legal knowledge with technical insight, ensuring your IP portfolio can withstand scrutiny, support partnerships, and attract funding.

With HGF, you benefit from a multidisciplinary approach that integrates life sciences, software, and regulatory knowledge.
