https://doi.org/10.25881/18110193_2024_4_20
Abstract
The introduction of digital medical services, which has been actively pursued in recent years in the Russian Federation, is aimed at improving accessibility of medical care and the convenience of patient interaction with the health care system. However, age-related barriers to the use of these services by the elderly can partially offset this potential. In this regard, this paper studies the most pressing problems in the use of digital medical services by patients of older working age and searches for solutions to eliminate them
