The ZMDT Innovation Taxi

Medical innovation too often fails due to unclear or ambiguously interpreted legal standards, which make it difficult for those applying the law.

Vision 

To provide this knowledge-based legal support at the intersection of law, medicine, and information technology, and to contribute to the development and evaluation of innovation-related regulations, the ZMDT Legal Advisory Service—known as “Innovation Taxi”—was launched with the goal of enabling and promoting innovation in the field of medical data.

Full-Service Legal Support and Advisory Services for Legislators

The ZMDT’s “Innovation Taxi” is designed to serve as a full-service portal for innovators. Following a thorough analysis of the innovation project, all legal issues are identified through the legal service and, depending on the need, addressed either through scientific guidance or an innovation session, or resolved through collaborative, external one-on-one legal counseling. Ultimately, the goal is to support the innovator’s journey from the initial idea to the launch of a spin-off. Any gaps or shortcomings in existing regulations that become apparent during this process will be brought to the attention of lawmakers in so-called legacy reports.
