At a recent roundtable event “Digital Toolkits for Medical Projects”, the Russian Ministry for Economic Development announced that it was considering legislative measures to facilitate the testing of new technologies in healthcare. “This experimental regime for telemedicine and prescriptions will increase the availability of consultations for patients and increase the speed of medical care without the need to personally visit doctors,” said Deputy Minister Vladislav Fedulov, emphasising that this was particularly important during a pandemic.
The announcement comes as growing demand for fast and convenient service has transformed the way that Russian businesses operate, driving a shift online and a craze for near-instantaneous service. The latest sector to be disrupted by this trend is healthcare, where telemedicine and online ecosystems are becoming increasingly dominant.
