INTRODUCTION
Health technologies, also known as “HealthTech” is one of the rapidly growing sectors in the world and Turkey. The health industry, which has an important potential in developing innovative products and technologies, has increased the quality of service by developing with digital transformation tools such as the internet of things, machine communication, cloud computing, big data, wearable and portable technologies.[1] It is expected that these technologies, which create a big difference especially in the diagnostic stages and these technologies are expected to be used more widely after the Coronavirus outbreak and the number of entrepreneurs and investors taking part in this sector is expected to increase. In Turkey, thanks to the applications developed by the Ministry of Health such as e-pulse, e-report, telemedicine, ESIM, MIZ and SİNA, health technologies have now gone beyond “getting online appointments”. However, these rapid developments do not have the same reflection in the legal field. In this article, the legal dimensions of health technologies will be examined.
