摘要：Currently, the driver of the development of socio-economic systems is their digital transformation. Information and communication technologies have significantly simplified a number of organizational and operational processes of companies in all sectors of the economy. In healthcare, ICTs have found their way into improving communication solutions. However, in general, the digital transformation of this area is much broader, and current trends, problems and prospects for its activation require additional scientific research. The study outlines promising directions for the development of the healthcare sector, based on the introduction of artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing and other endto-end digital technologies. The trends examined in the course of the study made it possible to speak not only about promising directions for the introduction of key digital technologies in the healthcare sector, but also about the presence of a number of limitations. In particular, the activation of these processes in Russia is hindered by gaps in patent law and licensing. The article identifies possible management and regulatory decisions to overcome the existing limitations. The research results can be used as a theoretical basis for managing the development of the healthcare sector in the digital economy.
