The purpose of the study is to outline the legal challenges arising during the implementation of concepts such as digital health, e-health, mobile health as well as establishing the legal framework for electronic medical records and telemedicine, and certain types of innovative biomedical activities. The article illustrates the consistent impact of information and communication technologies on the interaction between patients and healthcare providers. It defines the legal framework for telemedicine and its transition to e-health. The study systematizes the particularities of legal regulations concerning both general electronic medical record and those developed by specialized medical organizations. It presents legal challenges related to data compatibility and potential cross-border exchanges. The concept of mobile healthcare is analyzed, with attention given to the risks associated with its development, notably threats to privacy and cybersecurity. The main directions of digital medicine and the challenges faced by modern legal regulations are summarized, including the use of big data, the integration of artificial intelligence, translational bioinformatics, gamification of various stages of medical care, etc. Additionally, the legal challenges arising from the use of big data and introduction of certain digital devices into medical practice are outlined, with special attention given to the brain-computer interface. Comprehensive recommendations for the improvement of healthcare legislation are presented.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Раскрываются актуальные проблемы оказания медицинской помощи и организации общественного здравоохранения в условиях стремительного развития цифровых технологий. Цель исследования - охарактеризовать юридические проблемы, возникающие в процессе внедрения таких концепций, как цифровое здравоохранение, электронное здравоохранение, мобильное здравоохранение; определить правовой режим электронной медицинской карты и телемедицины, некоторых видов инновационной биомедицинской деятельности. Показано последовательное влияние информационно-коммуникационных технологий на процесс взаимодействия пациента и медицинского работника. Определен правовой режим телемедицины, а также ее переход к электронному здравоохранению. В статье систематизированы особенности правового регулирования как общей электронной медицинской карты, так и создаваемых специализированными медицинскими организациями. Представлены юридические проблемы совместимости данных, а также возможного трансграничного обмена. Проанализирована концепция мобильного здравоохранения. Уделено внимание рискам, возникающим в силу ее развития, где основное место занимают угрозы неприкосновенности частной жизни и кибербезопасности. Обобщены основные направления цифровой медицины и те сложности, с которыми сталкивается современное правовое регулирование, а именно: использование больших данных и внедрение искусственного интеллекта, трансляционная биоинформатика и геймификация различных этапов оказания медицинской помощи и др. Обозначены правовые проблемы, возникающие при внедрении в медицинскую практику некоторых цифровых устройств, где особое внимание уделено интерфейсу «мозг-компьютер». Представлены комплексные рекомендации по совершенствованию здравоохранительного законодательства.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>legal regulation</kwd><kwd>e-health</kwd><kwd>mobile health</kwd><kwd>electronic health record</kwd><kwd>digital health</kwd><kwd>biomedicine</kwd><kwd>telemedicine</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>правовое регулирование</kwd><kwd>электронное здравоохранение</kwd><kwd>мобильное здравоохранение</kwd><kwd>электронная медицинская карта</kwd><kwd>цифровое здравоохранение</kwd><kwd>биомедицина</kwd><kwd>телемедицина</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The study was financed by the grant of the Russian Science Foundation  No. 24-28-00365, https://rscf.ru/project/24-28-00365/</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке Российского научного фонда в рамках научного проекта № 24-28-00365, https://rscf.ru/project/24-28-00365/</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Alsahli, S., Hor, S. &amp; Lam, M.
