Abstract
The change in the technological order that is taking place today brings medicine and healthcare to the drivers of economic development of any society, while leaving behind medicine its main function – social.
The key role of the welfare state lies in the fullest possible implementation of the idea of social justice, which at the prevailing stage implies the possibility for representatives of each social stratum to have access to high-quality medical care, as indicated in article 41 of the Constitution of Russia.
The economic crisis caused by the pandemic made it possible for the Russian healthcare system to see in these difficult conditions an opportunity for a qualitatively new level of mass implementation of telemedicine technologies in the medical process: telemedicine remote technologies were the most popular in situations of rapid response by medical workers to critical situations, requiring urgent intervention in conditions of acute need to localize foci of coronavirus infection.
This article analyzes the problems of the legal mechanism for regulating each stage of the treatment and diagnostic process through remote technologies, which is associated with the problem of preserving the human right to personal secrecy in a pandemic.
