A.-The Federal State Budget Educational Institution of Higher Education “The Stavropol State Medical University”1512202230462963817082022Copyright © 2022,2022The article discusses some aspects of information and communication technologies in medicine. In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, special attention is paid to development of telemedicine. The informational computer technologies are especially relevant where there is shortage of medical personnel. Taking into account that by the year 2035 there will be shortage of 12.9 million medical workers worldwide due to aging of population, increase in prevalence of non-communicable diseases, migration and turnover of medical personnel, remote consultations of patients are becoming increasingly relevant. The examples of information and communication technologies in health care that proved their effectiveness are given.information communication technologiesmedicinehealth caretelemedicineмедицинские работникиинформационно-коммуникационные технологии в медицинетелемедицина1.Gonçalves-Bradley D.
