Abstract

The convergence of science, technology, and medical (STM) innovation has transformed contemporary society, offering unprecedented benefits while introducing complex legal, ethical, and governance challenges. Regulatory frameworks serve as critical mechanisms for balancing innovation with public interest, ensuring safety, efficacy, and equity in rapidly evolving domains. This chapter explores the multifaceted regulatory landscapes that govern STM enterprises, highlighting international standards, national legislation, and sector-specific protocols. It also addresses the tension between fostering innovation and enforcing compliance, especially in areas such as biomedical research, emerging technologies, and data-driven health systems. Through comparative insights and case-driven analysis, this chapter aims to equip stakeholders with a nuanced understanding of how regulatory systems can both constrain and catalyze responsible innovation in STM fields.
