https://doi.org/10.17021/1992-6499-2026-1-81-87
Abstract
The article examines the legal aspects of innovative non-pharmacological intervention for a broad range of patients, involving remote interaction through gamified approaches. The key legislative acts regulating this methodology are outlined and described in detail. A generalized framework of laws and regulations governing this practice is presented. Special emphasis is placed on the protection and processing of patients' personal data. Examples of gamified interventions are provided. The moral, ethical, and deontological principles of patient gamification are discussed. The feasibility of implementing this methodology in real-world clinical practice, considering the specifics of the Russian healthcare system, is assessed.
