Abstract
Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity syndrome is a frequent complication of acute severe brain injury, so with severe traumatic brain injury, it develops in 30 % of patients. Despite a large number of publications, the issues of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of this syndrome remain unresolved. To date, the assessment of the syndrome of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity takes, with proper training of the doctor, from 8 to 15 minutes, taking into account the calculation of points using a calculator. With the digitalization of this process, a single assessment will take about 2–3 minutes to enter the indicators. In this case, the calculation will occur automatically. Subsequently, when using «wearable gadgets for measurement», the process of filling in indicators can also occur automatically. The application allows to register and store basic data about users who can have three roles: patients, specialist doctors, administrators. The creation of a database of patients with sympathetic hyperactivity syndrome will significantly improve diagnostic methods and assess the adequacy of therapy. Medical data is only useful if it can be turned into meaningful information. This requires high-quality data sets, uninterrupted communication between IT systems, and standard data formats that can be processed by humans and machines.
