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.

Applicable regulations

The bankruptcy cases are regulated in Poland majorly by the Insolvency Act of 2003 (in Polish: Ustawa z dnia 28 lutego 2003 r. Prawo upadłościowe (t.j. Dz. U. z 2020 r. poz. 1228 z późn. zm.)) (later: ‘Insolvency Act of 2003’). Yet it is not the only applicable regulation. In cases of cross-border bankruptcy proceedings or cases where a Polish citizen is adjudged bankrupt in the territory of the Member State of the European Union or Ireland, the bankruptcy proceedings are regulated by the Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (OJ L 141, 5.6.2015, p. 19-72) (later: ‘Regulation 2015/848’).
