Simon Zenios & Co LLC is pleased to reflect on the participation of its Managing Director and Founding member of the Technology Committee of the Cyprus Bar Association, Simon Zenios, as a panelist at the 1st Interdisciplinary Conference on Law and Medicine: Developments in Health Law in Cyprus, held on 11 June 2026 at The Landmark Hotel, Nicosia. The conference was jointly organised by the Cyprus Bar Association and the Cyprus Medical Association and brought together legal and medical professionals, public officials, academics and sector specialists to discuss major developments affecting health law in Cyprus.

Simon Zenios participated in the session “Digital Technology/AI & Health Law”, which formed part of the official conference programme and was moderated by Louiza Protopapa, President of the Limassol Bar Association and member of the Board of the Cyprus Bar Association. According to the published programme, the panel also included Mikaella Kantor, Heraklis Kyriakides, Dr Marios Karaiskakis and Dr Christiana Markou, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the discussion and the growing importance of digital health, artificial intelligence and legal regulation in the healthcare sector.

Simon Zenios’ contribution focused on blockchain and artificial intelligence in the medical industry from a legal perspective, with particular emphasis on the regulatory and practical questions that arise as healthcare systems, records, communications and decision-making tools become increasingly digital. In that context, the discussion touched on the broader legal issues that are becoming central to modern health law, including accountability, patient rights, legal certainty, governance, confidentiality and the need for clear regulatory thinking when innovation moves into healthcare environments.

The conference itself was framed by the organisers as an effort to strengthen dialogue between the legal and medical professions in Cyprus and to support the continuing professional development of both sectors. The official programme covered a wide range of issues, including medical negligence, professional ethics and disciplinary law, legal and medical confidentiality, patient rights, addictive substances and public health, ESG in healthcare, digital technology, artificial intelligence and bioethics. This breadth of subject matter reflects how health law in Cyprus is evolving into an increasingly interdisciplinary field, shaped not only by traditional medico-legal questions but also by digital transformation and broader regulatory change.

Published reporting on the event further underlined the relevance of that discussion. According to Cyprus Mail, speakers at the conference highlighted the need for closer cooperation between the legal and medical professions in light of technological advances, artificial intelligence and the protection of patients’ rights. The same reporting noted references to issues such as health data management, transparency, cybersecurity, digitalisation of health services and the need for a clear institutional framework capable of keeping pace with technological progress. These concerns closely align with the realities now faced by institutions and professionals operating at the intersection of healthcare, regulation and innovation.

For Simon Zenios & Co LLC, participation in this conference reflects the firm’s continued engagement with legal issues that sit at the meeting point of technology, regulation and sector-specific compliance. As developments in artificial intelligence, data use, digital infrastructure and emerging technologies continue to influence how industries operate, legal analysis must increasingly respond not only to established rules but also to new risks, responsibilities and governance expectations.

The healthcare sector is one of the clearest examples of this shift. As new tools and systems enter clinical, operational and administrative settings, the legal profession has an important role to play in ensuring that innovation is approached responsibly, that rights and obligations remain clear, and that businesses, institutions and professionals are able to move forward with confidence and proper legal support.

Simon Zenios & Co LLC would like to express its sincere thanks to the Cyprus Bar Association for the kind invitation to participate in this important conference, and to acknowledge the Cyprus Medical Association and all organisers for creating a forum for serious and constructive interdisciplinary dialogue. The firm also thanks the moderator, fellow panelists and attendees for contributing to a timely discussion on some of the most important legal and regulatory issues now emerging in healthcare.
