Digital health businesses are entities that leverage technology to deliver healthcare services, including telemedicine platforms, online consultation services, digital therapeutics companies, and health technology startups. These businesses may operate entirely online or maintain hybrid models combining digital and traditional face-to-face care. In the Australian insurance context, digital health businesses require specialised insurance that addresses both traditional healthcare professional liability and technology-specific risks. Their coverage needs differ from conventional medical practices due to increased cyber exposure, technology failures, data privacy obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and the complexities of providing care across jurisdictional boundaries. Insurance for these entities typically includes professional indemnity, cyber liability, and technology errors and omissions coverage.
