Health Insurance and Medical Devices 
Recently, medical devices of a kind never before existed such as digital therapeutics (DTx), mobile applications for medical diagnosis and treatment, and wearable devices have been developed and introduced to the consumer market. These new types of medical devices can successfully take root in the market only with an in-depth understanding of the entire system from R&D, clinical trials, authorization, application of fee-for-service in health insurance, registration process, and to security threats to the digital healthcare devices after they are launched. 
Our Digital Health Team regularly consults clients on a wide variety of matters related to the authorization, distribution, and clinical trials of conventional medical devices as well as the authorization, clinical trial, demonstration, legal issues relating to Korea's three main privacy and data security laws, any breach of the Medical Service Act and the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and new market entry of the novel types of medical devices.
