Abstract

The objective of the article is to investigate the theoretical and practical aspects of digital medical care in the context of the challenges and opportunities of technological progress, and to outline the main guidelines for the development of digital technologies in the field of Medicine. The methodology consists in the use of a systematic method, which offers the achievement of sustainable development of digital technologies of medical institutions; the proposal is based on the adaptability and flexibility of the management structures of medical institutions, capable of using the available data and digital technologies to provide assistance to the population; a synergistic method based on self-organization and the search for the bases of self-organization, which can help medical institutions to overcome the crisis and instability. The study shows that the digital change is increasingly visible in Medicine. Thanks to digital technologies and tools in Medicine, particularly through eHealth technologies, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring and administration have been improved. The problems of digitization are discussed not for themselves, but for the improvement of medical care, digital health in the context of the challenges and opportunities of technological progress, the formation of a new concept of digital technologies in the field of health.
