TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE MEDICINE IF THE FUTURE – LEGAL ASPECTS
(Plovdiv University Press, 2025-12-15) Ilieva, Antonia
In modern society, technological innovations and advancements have occupied a leading place from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. The most tangible innovations in technology are registered in health care, pharmacy, administrative activity, the automotive industry, architectural planning, housing construction, energy, etc. The Covid-19 pandemic and the pressure of the spread of the virus worldwide strained health systems to the limit. The restrictive measures that were introduced suspended the scheduled admission of patients, surgical interventions, as well as overall access to medical and health facilities. The conclusions reached by health authorities worldwide, after the peak of the pandemic has passed, can be summarized as follows - there is an urgent need to introduce accelerated digitization of the health system, regulatory measures, and the active introduction of telemedicine into the health system, as well as the implementation of digital health technologies that would have a positive impact on the monitoring of patients with chronic conditions. Undoubtedly, their implementation would lead to a reduction in costs and an increase in access to health services.
