The article discusses the main aspects of the draft “Concept for the implementation distant control/monitoring forms of sanitary requirements compliance (remote/contactless supervision).” The project document was developed according to the “National Action Plan Ensuring the Recovery of Employment and Incomes of the Population, Economic Growth and Long-Term Structural Changes in the Economic” control in the Russian Federation”. It has been determined that introducing remote forms of supervision is the general improvement of the state control system with a general decrease in the administrative burden on business entities. The task is also to identify the negative trends in the activities of organizations at the earliest possible stages and adopt proactive state response measures to violations of the law. The concept establishes that the critical difference between remote control and contact, face-to-face forms is the most full use and science-intensive processing of data accumulated in the information field about the activity of the economic unit. The information field is formed by departmental databases collected in the Unified Information System of Rospotrebnadzor (EIAS) and external state, municipal and other databases. An analysis is carried out through remote access to information. The remote control also implies a gradual, but significant expansion of the hardware use for fixing objects and processes status (audio-photo-video tools, sensors for measuring object parameters, etc.).An intelligent information system provides information and analytical support for the entire cycle of actions provided for by the regulations for conducting remote control and supervision activities. The system focuses on identifying evidence of violation or compliance with sanitary legislation based on the study of transmitted information. The functioning of an intelligent system involves the modern methods of machine processing of big data (Big Data), including elements of artificial intelligence based on machine learning of artificial neural networks, etc. The data generated in the system is sent to the shared storage of the EIAS for the combined processing data from remote and contact supervision and systemic complex analysis with the involvement of data from social and hygienic monitoring and other departments. The phased introduction of distant control in the activities of the service requires the improvement of the regulatory, methodological, material, and technical base, as well as the human resources development in the direction, increasing the computer literacy of expert specialists, persons responsible for maintaining the information system, its administration, and ensuring uninterrupted operation. It is shown that the effectiveness of the distant control implementation with the use of information and analytical approach can reduce from 15 to 60% time for one scheduled inspection, decrease the labour costs of inspectors and specialists of supervised facilities, expanding the number of inspected objects.
