AB - With the development of advanced science and technology, the average life expectancy has been extended due to aging and population growth, and the importance of digital healthcare is increasing worldwide due to the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and medical technology.
Digital transformation is also exerting influence on the healthcare sector, and innovative changes are taking place in all areas including healthcare, health, and care. These changes are also suggesting the future of healthcare, including precision medicine that reflects personal data such as genetic characteristics, healthcare 4.0 that focuses on interconnectivity with artificial intelligence, and innovation in the healthcare industry based on big data and artificial intelligence.
This paper aims to examine the concept and characteristics of digital healthcare, and the related legal status and related issues. To this end, we will examine the concept and types of digital healthcare, its characteristics and regulatory basis, and the current status of digital healthcare in major countries and comparative legal review to gain implications on the scope and methods of legal regulation of the domestic digital healthcare market. As the digital transformation of the healthcare sector takes place worldwide, the digital healthcare industry is becoming active, which uses cutting-edge science and technology and healthcare data to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases and manage health. Currently, in Korea, there is no separate law on the digital healthcare industry and the use of healthcare data, and research and development projects in the relevant fields are supported and managed by national research and development-related laws, such as the Act on Performance Evaluation and Performance Management of National Research and Development Projects, the National Research and Development Innovation Act, etc., and individual laws. Therefore, it is time to comprehensively reorganize the legislation that takes into account the special characteristics of the healthcare sector, such as the protection system for patient information and bioethics.
