TELEMEDICINE AS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE MODERN HEALTHCARE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Widespread use of telemedicine as a method for remote medical care provision can become one of the most promising ways to optimise modern healthcare. This article proposes a methodology for adult health telemedicine screening using a system for analysing unstructured data of monitoring chronic non-communicable diseases in the population. This method is based on the risk estimation by the Decision Rules approach, and the fuzzy set theory is used as a description tool. Scientifically-based comprehensive clinical approach for the development of medical questionnaires, the knowledge of which depends on a large scientific base in the field of screening, propaedeutic, taking into account the standards and requirements of health assessment in the Russian Federation, is a fundamental difference from the existing analogues. Expert system of telemedicine questionnaire screening allows determining the health risks by specific profiles, to develop a final personalised judgment with recommendations for a healthy lifestyle, further examination, treatment, and prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases.
