LawTech.Asia is proud to have commenced the third run of its popular Associate Author (2020) Programme. The aim of the Associate Authorship Programme is to develop the knowledge and exposure of student writers in the domains of law and technology, while providing them with mentorship from LawTech.Asia’s writers and tailored guidance from a respected industry mentor.

In partnership with the National University of Singapore’s alt+law and Singapore Management University’s Legal Innovation and Technology Club, five students were selected as Associate Authors. This piece, written by Pramesh Prabakaran and reviewed by industry reviewer Nydia Remolina (SMU School of Law), marks the fourth thought piece in this series. It examines the benefits, risks, and regulatory and legal issues that could arise in relation to the growing trend of telemedicine and AI in Singapore’s context.
