The article discusses the relevance of the use of automated medical technologies for employees of oil companies in remote regions of theRussian Federation. The theoretical base is studied and types of application of telemedicine technologies are considered. The statistics of the use of available technologies in the Northern regions, in particular, in the Khanty-Mansiysk district, is analyzed. It was determined the growth of popularity, as well as the need for the use of these technologies, due to the increase in population and harsh climatic conditions. The absence of application of telemedicine technologies in oil companies was revealed. The relevance of technology application was considered in more detail on the example of employees of PJSC Gazprom. The ratio of the working and administrative staff is analyzed, and it is revealed that 48.7% of the working staff work in shifts in the Northern regions of Russia, remote from settlements and do not have specialized medical centers in their territories, providing a full examination and quality treatment. Thus was proved the relevance of the use of telemedicine technologies, which are able to provide quality and timely medical aid workers to solve the problem of deficiencies of qualified doctors in remote villages, to reduce the cost of medical services, increase the investment attractiveness and improvement of the company image in the society.
