Survey on digital medicine issues has been done. Representatives (n=1125) of medical community have been interviewed. There are 1024 medical practitioners and 101 health care managers. Managers are more focused on direct-toconsumer telemedicine, meanwhile doctors are more informed about clinical application of telemedicine. High readiness for use of distant care tools is revealed in both groups. Private hospitals shows better introduction of electronic interaction with patients than state medical organizations. The general level of awareness on digital medicine is rather high and shows an annual growth.
