Webinar- Dark Patterns in Healthcare: Navigating Patient Consent, Website Privacy, and Emerging Regulatory Risk 

Healthcare organizations increasingly rely on digital tools to engage patients, streamline intake, and improve care coordination. At the same time, regulators are closely scrutinizing whether online interfaces, consent mechanisms, and patient-facing technologies improperly influence or manipulate patient choices through so-called “dark patterns.”

This webinar will examine:

• • What dark patterns are and why regulators are targeting them
  • How these patterns show up in patient intake, privacy notices, and health information exchange participation
  • Design choices and electronic communication pitfalls that put companies at legal and compliance risk
  • Digital marketing practices that may constitute dark patterns, including pre-checked consent boxes, misleading cookie banners, and the deployment of tracking technologies before valid consent is obtained

Our presenters will share practical compliance strategies to help healthcare organizations evaluate their digital experiences, reduce enforcement risk, and ensure that patient choices are presented clearly.
