| Abstract |
Background. The relevance of the use of telemedicine technologies has increased sharply in the context of the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. Due to the high workload of hospitals, the Russian Ministry of Health recommended that the regions organize medical care using telemedicine technologies for patients with confirmed COVID-19 at home. Existing telemedicine information and communication systems only allow making an appointment with a doctor in a clinic, remote consultations of a patient (secondary appointment) and do not include measuring instruments for continuous remote observation (monitoring) of a patient's condition. This determines the urgency of the task of supplementing the existing telemedicine information and communication systems with a personalized information and measuring system for monitoring the patient's condition.
Materials and methods. The information-measuring system was developed in full compliance with the requirements of the latest guidelines of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and the Temporary Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of the New Coronavirus Infection COVID-19 (Version 9, 10/26/2020).
Results. An information-measuring system for telemedicine monitoring of the patient's condition with COVID-19 has been developed. It includes the main (measurements of body temperature, hemodynamic and respiration indicators) and additional (measurements of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, glycemia and indicators of the electrical activity of the heart) measuring channels. The main channels are used to treat COVID-19, additional channels are used if a patient with COVID-19 has chronic diseases. A possible version of the information-measuring system implementation based on the domestic measuring instruments available on the market is presented.
Conclusion. The proposed information and measurement system, functioning as part of the information and communication system, provides telemedicine monitoring of the patient's condition with COVID-19 in full compliance with the latest guidelines of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and the Interim Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis and Treatment of New Coronavirus Infection COVID-19.
