Remote monitoring of population health and performance reserves

Abstract

Design and development of a system for remote monitoring and improvement of health reserves and performance of an individual and the whole population based on the prenosological examination, the numerical assessment of body systems reserves, and implementation of adequate individual health improvement programs. Targeted population survey 2000-2020 with measurement of 18 morphofunctional indices allowed to form a database (760 thousand subjects) and develop the Health Navigator technology with the numerical assessment of health and performance reserves of individuals of different ages. This technology formed the basis for the design of the system of remote monitoring and improvement of population health reserves with results processing, storage, and analysis on local and remote servers. Monitoring of health and performance reserves of the population was developed as a browser-based telemedicine technology consisting of a number of sequential actions (operations) performed by healthcare providers and patients: 1) targeted examination of the patient; 2) computer processing of the results using a software and information complex; 3) presentation to the patient and discussion of a formalized «Health Reserve Profile» and a draft personal wellness program; 4) implementation of 100-150 days health improvement program based on the means of natural therapy. Appraisal of the remote monitoring system in several country regions confirmed its efficiency and the considerable interest of specialists and the population in its use. The developed system allows to accelerate and standardize the work of health care providers, establish continuous cooperation with patients, increasing their health culture and protection from early diseases.
