Medtech & Digital Therapeutics

Bringing a digital health venture to market means combining different areas of expertise to create something viable and commercially valuable. Whether you're the pharmaceutical partner or the tech partner, you need trusted advisors who understand both domains and how to protect their value.

You'll work with patent attorneys and IP solicitors who have advised on many digital health projects. Our team includes experts in disease, treatment, pharmacology, and the regulatory environment, as well as specialists in software, data management, and analytics. This ensures your innovation is fully supported from both a clinical and technical perspective.

Based on our experience, these are the issues that need to be addressed from the outset:

• Define who owns what and how all parties will be remunerated from the outset.
• Clarify data ownership and usage.
• Create a business model that enables each partner to maximise returns from all potential revenue sources.
• Plan for scalability so your partnership can meet growing demand.
• Limit the number of partnerships to avoid making progress difficult to manage.
• Keep patients' and clinicians' needs front and centre.
