The population of many developing countries, including Russia, is characterized by a high level of resistance and immunity to innovations affecting their fundamental rights and freedoms. Opportunities for the introduction and application of digital medicine are perceived skeptically, on the one hand from the point of view of its fantasticism, on the other — its riskiness. A significant part of the ideas about it is based on an existential and ethical threat, which currently has virtually no scientific evidence or prerequisites. while the real problem is that the modern legal reality is not ready for rapid technological progress. legislation is not able to properly regulate social relations, the existence of which yesterday seemed unrealistic, and today they are rapidly integrated into our lives. only the formation of a comprehensive unified view of the essence and content of digital medicine can help solve this issue. Whereas this becomes possible only after assessing all the existing risks of its legal implementation, which is what this article is devoted to.
