Mishustin approved a project for remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases using wearable devices
In December 2022, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving a project for remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases using wearable devices.
As the press service of the Ministry of Economic Development clarifies, the document establishes a new experimental legal regime (EPR) for remote monitoring of the state of health of citizens using special devices - personal medical assistants (PMP), which will transfer and accumulate impersonal data into a special information system. The participation of patients in the experiment will be on a voluntary basis.
Treating doctors will be able to use data to monitor patients' vital signs in real time (at the first stage: blood pressure level, heart rate, glycemia), which will be recorded mainly by domestic medical devices. The curator of this socio-economic initiative is Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov.
The experiment involves medical organizations of the Republic of Tatarstan, Novosibirsk, Samara, Tyumen, Ryazan and Magadan regions. The experiment will allow not only to carry out remote monitoring of the health of patients, but to accumulate an array of data, which is subsequently planned to be analyzed and processed using artificial intelligence technologies, the Ministry of Economics noted.
{{quote 'In modern conditions of medical care, the introduction of information technologies into medical activities is a necessary direction for preserving the life and maintaining the health of citizens. The EPR mechanism ensures the fastest start of this project, in the results of which the state and the business community are interested. The gained experience of remote monitoring of the state of health of citizens will become the basis for the development of optimal legal mechanisms that will become the basis for changing the general regulation, - said Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov[2] }}

2021: AI Systems Market for Remote Patient Monitoring Valued at $900 Million
The global market for artificial intelligence technologies used in the process of remote monitoring of patients reached $893 million in 2021 against $712.7 million. This is evidenced by data from analysts at ResearchAndMarkets, released on December 22, 2021.
We are talking about systems using machine learning algorithms, natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition. Such software is used in devices for controlling blood glucose, body temperature, heart rate, respiratory functions, blood pressure, etc. AI helps predict the risk of potentially fatal conditions and sends alarms to medical personnel so that specialists take action in time.
Thus, researchers from the University of San Francisco developed and tested an AI-based application for detecting sepsis (a potentially life-threatening condition that develops when an infection enters the blood). The AI algorithm, using a range of data (blood pressure, heart rate, body temperature, respiratory rate, SpO2, white blood cell count, patient age and other parameters), predicted the risk of sepsis and signaled it to medical staff. Thanks to the use of this system, it was possible to reduce the mortality rate in the hospital by 12%.
Experts consider the main catalysts for the growth of the market for AI solutions to control vital health indicators:
- development of information and utility technology infrastructure in developing countries. In particular, this includes the rapid digitalization of health care and the widespread use of social media;
- high interest in wearable electronics;
- the desire of healthcare institutions to improve patient interactions through real-time TECont;
- work in the direction of optimizing control and reducing the number of human errors.
The development of the global market as a whole is hindered by the lack of awareness of healthcare workers in the advantages of AI systems for remote monitoring of patients in certain parts of the world, as well as the high cost of such developments in comparison with traditional methods. In addition, the use of new technologies is accompanied by concerns about data leaks and cyber threats.
According to experts, miniaturization and cheapening of modern computing and communication devices make it possible to create cyberphysical systems closed into a single circuit. These systems, with the help of several sensitive and actuating devices, collect and process information in physical and biological objects and control the processes in them. Using feedback, what happens in a physical or biological system affects calculations and vice versa.
Speaking about the situation on the market of AI systems that help doctors monitor the progress of patient treatment, analysts noted that by 2021 most of these developments are related to areas where they managed to accumulate data arrays well (images in radiation diagnostics, text information in electronic medical histories). Often, such systems cover only a small part of medical tasks.
The following companies are named the largest developers of AI solutions used for remote monitoring of patients (listed in alphabetical order):
- 00 Plus;
- AiCure;
- Binah.ai;
- Biofourmis;
- Cardiomo;
- ChroniSense Medical;
- ContinUse Biometrics (Cu-Bx);
- Current Health;
- Ejenta;
- Eko;

- Medical Device + Diagnostic Industry (MD+DI);
- Medopad;
- Myia;
- Neoteryx;
- Neteera;
- Tech Vedika;
- ten3T Healthcare;
- Vitls.
According to analysts, in the period from 2021 to 2026. the cost of artificial intelligence used in equipment for remote monitoring of patients will increase by an average of 25.63% annually and by the end of this period of time will amount to $2.8 billion.[3]
2020: Increased use of telemedicine in the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic
By mid-March 2020, health care Chief information officers are trying to expand the use of telemedicine to address the rapidly growing threat of the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to HealthCare Business News, as the number of Covid-19 cases continues to grow around the world, IT professionals in different countries are focused on helping health workers expand their care options with new approaches, including telemedicine.
Health systems chief information officer are thinking about how they can expand care teams that are already under-resourced while reducing some of the risks posed by contact with infected patients, "explained Forrester Research senior analyst Arielle Trzcinski. |
For example, St. Luke's University Health Network in Pennsylvania conducts video conferences to help older patients. They take into account that this social group is less likely to use applications and more comfortably refers to technologies that are focused on desktops or laptops.
Trying to solve the problem of data availability, Mount Sinai Health System Hospital in New York has developed a "digital storage" with a special monitoring panel for Covid-19, which allows providers to view the necessary data, such as radiographs and laboratory results.
Institutions are also warning IT providers to prepare to increase server bandwidth and capacity in preparation for a surge in their use.
We just don't know how long this will last, "said Nader Mherabi, Chief information officer of NYU Langone Health in New York. - On the one hand, we do not want to spend too much money on capacity expansion, and on the other hand, we need to make sure that we are ready for sudden overloads.[4] |
2017: Minister of Health V. Skvortsova announces the phased launch of monitoring through wearable devices from 2020
From 2020, it is planned to gradually introduce remote monitoring of the health of patients from risk groups in Russia. For observations, individual wearable devices will be used, which will measure the indicators of pressure, pulse, concentration of glucose and other elements in the blood, position in space. Such devices provide for the presence of an emergency response system, which will work when the measured indicators approach critical values.
In addition, in 2019, the formation of a system of telemedicine consultations between medical organizations of various levels, including national, scientific, practical and medical centers, will be completed.
This was announced at a meeting of the Presidential Council for Strategic Development and Priority Projects in March 2017 by Minister of Health Veronika Skvortsova.
She added that at the same time the Ministry of Health will develop personalized biomedical technologies.
"In the next three years, rapid genome reading technologies will be introduced, which will allow us to create a single system of biomarkers of major diseases by 2020, as well as modern TECont of human health and a network of high-tech centers for predictive, predictive, and preventive medicine," said Veronika Skvortsova.
