Deputies of the Vitebsk Regional Council discussed the redistribution of budget funds and the implementation of digitalization
Digitalization Enhances Quality of Life
30% from the regional and innovation funds (approximately 8 million rubles annually) can be used for the implementation of digital technologies in various spheres of our lives.
This prerogative is granted to local authorities by the Presidential decree on the development of digital technologies, adopted in November 2023.
To encourage enterprises and organizations to accelerate this process, the Regional Council session approved the procedure for conducting a competition for the implementation of digital projects funded by the Innovation Fund.
– This is a relevant topic as it concerns all spheres of activity, – emphasized the Chairman of the Regional Council of Deputies, Dmitry Demidov. – The current development of the economy and social processes also implies the development of information and digital technologies to remain competitive. As is known, these processes contribute to improving the quality of social services provided and, overall, enhance the quality of life.
Digital projects are being actively implemented in the Vitebsk region, primarily in the healthcare sector. A unified patient database is being created to enable them to access the full spectrum of services: book appointments with doctors, undergo diagnostics, obtain digital prescriptions, and receive treatment plans.
In the Vitebsk region, several industrial enterprises are proposing interesting projects, particularly concerning the implementation of a unified systemic approach to ensuring production processes.
The head of the deputy corps expressed hope that transport workers would join the implementation of digital technologies, which would create more convenience for passengers and the enterprise itself. There are digital outlines in the field of housing and communal services, and in a number of social institutions. All this, according to Dmitry Demidov, will move us forward, will contribute to more active work of IT companies, enterprises, organizations and institutions with state ownership.
Alexander Nefedov, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Architecture and Construction of the Regional Executive Committee, gave several examples of "digital" already in use. In particular, in the agro-industrial complex – for the implementation of precision farming, in industry – at OJSC "Kovry" and in the transport complex. This will allow us to reach a higher quality level of passenger service, which will be convenient to use transport online. Digitalization in this area involves dispatching, navigation, and providing information to passengers through electronic displays and other software products. This also includes "smart stops", which will start operating this year in Vitebsk, and next year – in Polotsk and Novopolotsk.
