https://lawjournals.celnet.in/index.php/ijhml <p>The Indian Journal of Health and Medical Law covers the practice of law encompassing many different disciplines. Health lawyers can represent hospitals, physician groups, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), or individual doctors, among many others. Government health lawyers can investigate fraud, deal with Medicare policy and compliance or oversee public health policy. Many health lawyers are engaged in the business of health care spending significant time in mergers and acquisitions, tax law, employee benefits and risk management issues. The impact of technology on health care has been great with health lawyers helping to guide their clients through intellectual property, biomedicine, and telemedicine issues. Other health lawyers specialize in bioethics and clinical ethics representing universities and other research academic centers.</p> Consortium E-Learning Network Pvt Ltd en-US Indian Journal of Health and Medical Law https://lawjournals.celnet.in/index.php/ijhml/article/view/1954 <p>The development of digital technology has improved the application of creativity while also changing existing industries. Zomato, one of the most well-known programmes that offers an online meal delivery service to consumers looking to explore restaurants, is one of many such service providers. The entire study recommended that Zomato expand into rural areas and offer virtual restaurant tours to boost service skills. The implications of Zomato have been investigated. The world economy has endured two<br>very difficult years. By generating income and new employment possibilities for society, the introduction of new firms can accelerate a nation's economic development. Only from these nations have any recognised businesses with novel ideas for business emerged. This research analyse the value of entrepreneurship in a developing nation like India and to explain the success of Zomato, an Indian startup. When the founders of Zomato developed a platform via which individuals could quickly browse menus of a range of foods from different restaurants, place online orders, and have the meals delivered to their doorsteps, it was a novel idea in India.</p> Monika Jain Copyright (c) 2025 Indian Journal of Health and Medical Law 2025-12-08 2025-12-08 9 1 1 8 https://lawjournals.celnet.in/index.php/ijhml/article/view/1965 <p>Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the healthcare industry at a very fast pace by increasing diagnostic accuracy, foretelling treatment outcomes, and helping in life-saving healthcare decisions, yet its implementation brings important legal, ethical, and regulatory issues into play when something goes wrong. Classic medical negligence principles, as formulated by Bolam v. Friern Hospital Management Committee and polished by Bolitho v. City and Hackney Health Authority, centre upon the behaviour of medical practitioners, but their application is cumbersome whenever human judgment comes combined with AI-suggested options. Indian jurisprudence, especially that of Jacob Mathew v. State of Punjab, gives a basis for determining negligence but doesn't inherently tackle accountability in AI-supported judgments, creating a lack of clarity in the law. This research critically analyses the liability matrix of physicians, hospitals, AI programmers, and software providers, and the regulatory requirements imposed by the National Medical Commission, Consumer Protection Act, Indian Penal Code, Information Technology Act, and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. This research also delves into difficulties in assessing causation in AI-supported treatment, the moral responsibilities of healthcare professionals in upholding patient autonomy, and the risks of data protection in processing sensitive health information for training algorithms. Taking comparative lessons from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's regulation of Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) and the Indian Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) regime, the article calls for an overhauling need for an integrated AI healthcare liability legislation in India that balances<br>accountability with no stifling of innovation. Eventually, the study advocates for a legislative code requiring algorithmic transparency, AI-specific error reporting systems, and patient-oriented safeguards, thus reconciling technological progress with medical ethics, data protection, and patient safety in an increasingly digitizing healthcare environment.</p> Shreya S.
