Features of remote monitoring in various clinical sectors

Abstract

Modern social trends (an increase in life expectancy and the burden of chronic non-infectious diseases, a request for a personalized approach to diagnosis and treatment) and global political changes lead to systemic changes in the healthcare industry: providing high-quality medical care in new conditions requires the introduction of relevant technological tools. Therefore, great hopes are pinned on the digitalization of healthcare both in solving classic industry problems and in leveling the risks caused by new external conditions. Remote monitoring is one of the priority areas of digitalization of domestic healthcare. The use of this technology has several advantages: increasing the availability and quality of medical care, optimizing financial costs, and mitigating personnel shortages. Remote monitoring is successfully developing worldwide in various fields: cardiology, endocrinology, pulmonology, obstetrics and gynaecology, palliative medicine, and patient rehabilitation. The emergence of new research allows doctors and healthcare organizers to assess the advantages and disadvantages of using telemedicine technologies as accurately as possible in the process of clinical observation of patients with various nosologies. The rapid development of innovations has shown the multidimensional application of these techniques in practical medicine, which necessitates the generalization and systematization of information on the use of remote monitoring.
