Annotation: The purpose of the study is to identify barriers, advantages and prospects for the development of digitalization of healthcare using the example of public policy pursued in Germany. To achieve the results, synthesis, generalization, hypothetical method, system analysis, horizontal analysis, SWOT analysis, as well as content analysis were used. Europe is home to some of the best healthcare systems. Leading research institutes interact with companies and government authorities in the region. At the level of the World Health Organization, it was stated that digital healthcare is one of the leading initiatives of the European Union in the period from 2020 to 2025. Research and development is growing rapidly in sectors such as medical technology, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, as well as in the field of digital communications and computer technology. However, the policy pursued at the level of an integration association does not always meet the demands and realities faced by Member States at the national level. The example of the implementation of the state policy of the Federal Republic of Germany is no exception. This is confirmed by the resource potential and a set of socio-geographical features that can be taken into account in the framework of strategic planning at the land level.

Keywords: digital healthcare, artificial intelligence, digital twins, medical data, medical applications, social insurance, public policy.
