Important question posed during the webinar concerned personalized medicine.

The response is that the latter is the future of the medicine (so-called a Medicine 2.0). A deliberation about personalized medicine is not a discussion about future in about 10 or 15 years. It drives a magnificent impact across the industry. There was also discussed the question of the difference between the traditional medicine and personalized medicine.

Brand New Online Portal of the Polish Register of Entrepreneurs of the National Court Register

On 1^st July 2021 in Polish jurisdiction a revolutionary change has taken place. Namely, there has been amended an Act on the National Court Register (Journal of laws of 2021, item 112 as amended).[1] The amendment is about an introduction of an electronic registration procedure. Especially the form of filing applications for the entry in the Register of Entrepreneurs of the National Court Register will be changed.[2] The amendment mainly concerns the registration issue of the limited liability company and the partnerships.

The National Court Register Act amendment is caused by a necessity to implement the European Parliament directives and the EU’s Council directives on some of the company law aspects (2017/1132 EU; 2012/17/ EU, etc.).[3] The issue of the adaptation to the European Union law can be found in the first article (art.1) of the Amendment Act of the National Court Registration Act.

SECOND PART- TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENT OF SPECIFIC TELEHEALTH SECTORS

Sectoral legal advice for clients from the telemedicine sector requires from lawyers to constantly monitor the market in this sector and constantly expand their knowledge of market needs. It is the duty of every lawyer of KIEŁTYKA GŁADKOWSKI to be up-to-date with the sector of economic activity on which they provide legal services. Proper legal advice requires from lawyers to know the market practice of a given sector, and above all, knowledge of complex IT terminology and the basics of the pharmaceutical market.

I Telehealth trends’ perspectives

On the Telehealth Investment Trends we can have a look from different perspectives.

1. One of these perspectives is a funding perspective. In the 2^nd quarter of 2021 we can notice a funding record broken for the 4^th quarter in a row (from the 3^rd quarter of 2020). The deal count amounted 163 deals and the funding amounted 5,038 (in millions of dollars).
2. The continental differences. It is explicitly noticeable that European investment nearly quintupled QoQ to reach a record high of $915M. Asian investments almost halved, north American investment slightly increased but European made an incredible investment growth which might be a long-perspective tendency (especially regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and Europe’s ageing an increasingly digitalized society). Among these reasons and investment tendencies the polish executive in the abovementioned ordinance included the procedures to impart instructions about e- medical prescription realization, additional treatment, tests realization (including laboratory tests) and possibility to sign up an Online Patient Account[1]. These procedures and medical services requirements can be (and in deed will be for sure) unquestionably helpful for older people who are yet to learn with increasingly used IT systems.
3. The differences between early-, mid- and late- stage deal percentage. It is worthy to notice that in the 2021 early-stage deal share tracked at a historical low but at the same time the late-stage share at its high level (12% in comparison to previous 8%). This may reflect the increasing sophistication and maturity of the telehealth industry and of course the maturity and investment development and advancement of telehealth entities.
