It focuses on ethical and legal issues associated with the progress of new information technologies and other technologies used in health care. The aim of the article was to define the role of ethical and legal norms in the implementation and development of telehealth.

Higher standards of data security for vulnerable groups of patients should be established in the legislation and ethical guidelines.
