Abstract

In the article, the legal aspects of information security in telemedicine in Ukraine are considered from the modern theory of information law based on current Ukrainian legislation and regulations of the European Union. The topic's relevance is due to the need to improve the legislation of Ukraine to provide a comprehensive theoretical justification for enhancing the effectiveness of information security. In the course of the study, the methodology of the systematic, comprehensive analysis of legal phenomena using factor and evolutionary research methods was applied. It is noted that modern information technologies allow doctors to provide remote medical care to monitor patients' health constantly. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for remote medical care has increased. It is indicated that telemedicine technologies are used to conduct research and detect diseases based on the automated processing of large amounts of personal and medical data. In the digitalization of medicine, the importance of information security of patients and other subjects of telemedicine activities is growing. The processing of large amounts of personal data on patients' health in information systems increases the risks of privacy violations and requires higher standards of information protection.
