Legal Guarantees for Ensuring Oncofertility in the Context of Digital Transformation of Healthcare

Annotation

Purpose: to formulate the problem and substantiate the existing legal mechanisms ensuring the preservation and protection of the reproductive rights of women suffering from cancer in the context of the introduction and development of digital technologies in the healthcare sector. The research aims to identify current legal issues and gaps related to ensuring patient awareness, consent, and access to reproductive technologies, as well as to identify the opportunities and limitations of legal regulation in the new digital paradigm. The scientific goal is to develop proposals for improving legal guarantees that ensure a balance between innovative technologies, ethical requirements and the protection of human rights, taking into account cross-border aspects and the capabilities of digital platforms. Methods: analytical method, historical and legal method, comparative legal method, institutional method, deductive and inductive methods. Results: the need to integrate legal innovations with technological capabilities, which will ensure the full realization of patients' rights and improve the quality and safety of medical care in the context of digitalization. Discussion: the article aims to ensure the synergy of theory and practice, contributing to the formation of sustainable legal standards that guarantee the care and protection of cancer-related rights in the context of the digital transformation of the healthcare system.
