In Moscow, testing remote medical examinations for taxi drivers

2021: Remote medical examination testing

On February 3, 2021, Sitimobil announced a proposal for drivers of partners to undergo free medical examinations in the Taxi House. They will be carried out using a special terminal designed and manufactured by ADMK. For a month, the space of the Taxi House will turn into a platform for inspecting drivers using digital technologies.

To undergo a remote medical examination, the driver simply needs to enter his login and password (in the future, identification will take place using Face ID), then place his hand in the terminal, press the start button and follow the interactive instructions on the screen. The results of measurements will be evaluated by a medical specialist who will be able to advise the driver online if deviations in health conditions are detected. The terminal will allow you to obtain information on such important indicators of health status as pressure, pulse, temperature, the level of concentration of residual alcohol vapors in exhaled air. In addition, drivers will be able to pass a mindfulness test based on the Gorbov-Schulte table, which estimates the speed of switching attention.

As of February 2021, the results of the medical examination obtained using the device cannot be used for the track list, but drivers will be among the first to express their opinion on the operation of the terminal by passing the questionnaire. This will allow you to get a versatile assessment of the service and assess the potential of the project.

The terminal uses software with a tonometer, breathalyser, medical infrared thermometer. Further development of the system involves the use of a neural network, which will learn to receive data, sort and transmit them to the doctor. The level of diagnostic accuracy meets the requirements of the legislation.

They are actively discussing the use of telemedicine for medical examinations at the legislative level. We decided to support the initiative and provide the space of the Taxi House for a pilot project for remote medical examinations. This is a great opportunity to run through the technology and understand how we can make passing inspections convenient and accessible to all drivers, "said Vitaly Bedarev, Executive Director of Sitimobil.

Drivers will be able to compare the convenience and efficiency of automated inspection and their usual daily examinations in a specialized medical institution. *

In the transport industry, health and safety always required increased attention from managers in terms of cost optimization, compliance with regulations and rules of conduct, since the human factor often led to their violations. During this experiment, our joint task is to show that compliance with rules and requirements using technology is beneficial for taxi drivers and convenient for drivers. We want inspections to become easy, convenient and give the driver additional advantages in the eyes of consumers of his services, "said ADMK Director General Irina Chiganashkina.
