Enabling follow-up of pregnancy
The Russian government has included monitoring the course of pregnancy and the condition of the fetus in the Personal Medical Assistants project. Eight regions were selected for the experiment - Astrakhan, Vladimir, Penza regions, Altai Republic, Republic of Bashkortostan, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), as well as Moscow and the Moscow region. The corresponding decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on expanding the condition of the experimental legal regime (EPR) for the collection and processing of information on the state of health and diagnoses of citizens is published on the official Internet portal of legal information. This was announced by Roselectronics on December 13, 2024.
A pilot project to ensure remote monitoring of patient health on the basis of a single centralized platform "Personal Medical Assistants" has been implemented in Russia since 2023. The platform enables data exchange between individual diagnostic devices, healthcare organizations, insurance companies and physicians. The operator of the information system is the United Instrument-Making Corporation (the managing organization of the Roselectronics holding of Rostec State Corporation).
Prior to the latest changes, EPR was focused on helping patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus. It now also includes pregnancy escorts.
The condition of pregnant women will also be monitored using the Personal Medical Assistants digital platform based on a solution with industrial technology Internet of Things IIoT.Istok - IoMT.Istock, developed by specialists (NPP "Istok" named after Shokin " part of Roselectronics). To do this, special - medical devices fetal monitors for monitoring the fetal heartbeat, as well as tonometers and glucometers are connected to a system that allows you to remotely monitor health indicators.
The results of measurements of the level of glucose in capillary blood, systolic and diastolic pressure, the heart rate of the mother and child as prescribed by the doctor are transmitted to the Personal Medical Assistants platform, from where they are transmitted medical information systems to the for control by the doctor of the condition women and her unborn child at different stages of pregnancy.
Earlier, the technology of remote pregnancy support was tested as part of the VTB project to support pregnant women, which started in March 2024. The program includes online consultation of specialized doctors, remote control of the condition of the expectant mother, insurance in the event of pregnancy pathologies or critical diseases of the child.
Launch of Glycemia Control Pilot in Diabetic Patients
A pilot project has been launched in Russia to control the level of glycemia in patients with diabetes mellitus. The program covers 6 regions of the country and more than 2000 patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Gagik Galstyan, President of the Russian Diabetes Association, spoke about the main tasks of the project on November 14, 2024.
Personal assistants as digital solutions are actively included in the practice of domestic healthcare. The personal assistant system is suitable for patients with chronic diseases who need regular health monitoring.
The pilot project is to provide patients with diabetes mellitus with personal assistants to monitor the patient's glycemic blood counts in real time and form an overall picture of the patient's condition. Among the main quality of the personal assistant is the ability to make the necessary clinical decisions for health reasons at any time when necessary.
The model of personal assistants who really help the patient manage his disease is simply ideal for diabetes mellitus. This is not just a reminder of measuring sugar levels or taking drugs, but also a real new opportunity for patients who are most often outside medical institutions to make the right clinical decisions to prevent the development of severe glycemia, "said Gagik Galstyan. |
The project is being implemented within the framework of the pilot program "Personal Medical Assistants" and uses the latest generation glucometers, which constantly collect information it to a special portal, where everything about the data patient's state of health and his changes is analyzed and structured and transferred to medical institutions. Specialists plan to connect opportunities to this system, artificial intelligence which, on the basis of the received information , will form an individual list of recommendations for each patient.
The introduction of personal assistants in the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus will effectively integrate the patients themselves into the treatment process and make this treatment clinically correct, the expert is sure. |
More than 2000 patients with diabetes of the first and second types from 6 regions of Russia were provided with such glucose meters, all of them were trained in the use of personal assistants and were able to continuously manage the state of glycemic level in the blood and respond in a timely manner to changes in their own health when necessary.
8 regions and 23 thousand people under remote supervision. How the project "Personal Medical Assistants" is being implemented in Russia
As of August 2024, eight regions are covered by the Personal Medical Assistants (PMP) project in Russia. At the same time, about 23 thousand people received special devices for remote monitoring of the state of health. This is stated in the materials of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, published on September 3, 2024.
The goal of the PMP initiative is to create an ecosystem on the scale of the Russian Federation that provides constant remote monitoring of people suffering from hypertension, diabetes mellitus and other diseases that require regular monitoring of vital signs. The project by August 2024 covers the Irkutsk, Magadan, Novosibirsk, Ryazan, Tyumen, Samara regions, the Republic of Tatarstan and the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra.
Under the PMP program, three types of domestic medical devices are available to patients - two tonometers and a glucometer. The devices, in particular, received 21,262 patients with hypertension and 1,930 people with diabetes. The medical device transmits data on the patient's condition to the mobile application of the smartphone at regular intervals, from where they are sent to the PMP platform. Further, through a protected connection, the measurement results are received by a medical organization, so that the attending physician can quickly coordinate or change treatment.
It is expected that by the end of 2024, about 25.2 thousand patients in the Russian Federation will be covered by remote observation. At the same time, work is underway to distribute medical devices based on artificial intelligence. In 2023, one such product was introduced in 85 Russian regions. According to the results of 2024, it is expected that at least three medical devices with AI will be used in each of the regions.[1]
Launch of Remote Pregnancy Health Monitoring System
On March 18, 2024, a remote control system for pregnant women was launched in Russia. This was announced by the developer of the Personal Medical Assistants platform, on the basis of which the project is being carried out, Rostec.
Devices called "fetal monitors" that control the fetal heartbeat will be connected to a system that allows you to remotely monitor health indicators. The project starts in March of this year at the Mother and Child hospital in Moscow, the Mother and Child clinic in Yaroslavl, as well as in the Astrakhan and Vladimir regions, the Altai Republics, Bashkortostan and Sakha (Yakutia).
Doctors will give tonometers, glucometers and fetal monitors to women who agree to participate in this project. Their patients will be connected to a special application, and otherwise they will lead a normal lifestyle. The devices are integrated with the Personal Medical Assistants system based on a solution with industrial Internet of Things technology IIoT.Istock - IoMT.Istok. The technology was developed by NPP Istok named after Shokin of the Roselectronics holding (part of Rostec).
The results of device measurements will be transmitted to the platform, from where they will be transmitted to various medical information systems, through which attending physicians will be able to monitor them.
The IoMT.Istock architecture is built in such a way that it allows integrating the platform with various information systems, software applications and equipment, so in the future we plan to further expand the range of compatible diagnostic remote monitoring devices for various nosologies, "said Anton Kokin, head of the Medicine project office of the United Instrument-Making Corporation. |
The Personal Medical Assistants system was launched in 2023 to remotely monitor patients with chronic diseases. The operator of the system is the United Instrument-Making Corporation. The partners of the program were VTB, a network of centers "Mother and Child," "Rostelecom," "Doctis," "Tsifromed."[2]

2022
"Daughter" "Rostec" was chosen by the operator of the legal regime for remote monitoring of patients with diabetes and hypertension
"Daughter" "Rostec was chosen by the operator of the experimental legal regime (EPR) for remote monitoring of patients with diabetes and hypertension. This became known in early September 2022 from the relevant document. Ministry of Economic Development
EPR involves the creation of a single centralized platform "Personal Medical Assistant," through which remote monitoring data from wearable devices, medical organizations, insurance companies and doctors will be exchanged. Information from devices will be analyzed according to standardized algorithms, including identifying in real time signs of deviations from the norm of vital signs of patient health.
The project provides for the use of two types of devices - medical devices registered in Russia to track blood pressure, heart rate, glycemia, as well as auxiliary devices that have not yet been registered as medical devices and can track variations in heart rhythm, for example, fitness bracelets. The doctor will not have the right to make decisions only on the basis of data from the second type of device, the document emphasizes.
The operator of the EPR will be appointed United Instrument-Making Corporation JSC (OPK, part of the Rostec Group of Companies), which planned to complete the development of a platform for monitoring the condition of patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus in July 2022. The pilot will work out not only the concept of remote monitoring, but also such practical issues as participation in remote monitoring of patients who do not have smartphones, said Konstantin Solodukhin, Deputy General Director of United Instrument-Making Corporation JSC in early June 2022.
Launch of the experiment on remote health monitoring through wearable devices in the Russian Federation
At the end of August 2022, it became known about the introduction in Russia of an experimental legal regime (EPR) for remote health monitoring using special wearable devices. Data from such equipment will be collected on the Personal Medical Assistants platform.
As Kommersant writes with reference to the draft government decree developed by the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, the experiment will be held in six regions of the country (in the Republic of Tatarstan, Novosibirsk, Samara, Tyumen, Ryazan and Magadan regions) and will be launched until the end of 2022.
Personal devices are planned to be issued as prescribed by a doctor to patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, as well as citizens with limited mobility, people with disabilities and the elderly. The attending physician will have access to indicators of blood pressure, heart rate, blood sugar. Patients who have entered into a voluntary health insurance agreement will be able to use devices for the prevention of diseases.
Impersonal data on the state of health of citizens will be automatically transferred from personal devices to the information systems of medical organizations. If the parameters from the PMP device deviate from the norm established by the attending physician in each individual case, the patient and the doctor will receive a signal about the occurrence of a critical situation requiring a response.
Thus, the digital innovation tested in the EPR will ensure not only the detection of diseases in citizens at an early stage, but will also significantly reduce the mortality rate of the population as a result of timely provision of medical care to patients.
{{quote'Remote monitoring service with the help of special devices will be relevant for people with chronic diseases, with limited mobility and senior citizens. The introduction of information and telemedicine technologies will strengthen control over the health of the population of large cities and in remote, hard-to-reach settlements, - said Deputy Minister of Economic Development Maxim Kolesnikov[4] }}
Platform launch
In early June 2022, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation announced the launch of a project for remote monitoring of patients with chronic diseases - "Personal Medical Assistants." The patient monitoring platform will be integrated with the Unified State Health Information System (Uniform State Health Information System) and the main IT systems in the health sector. In general, it will process information received from personal medical devices.
According to Olia Artemova, Deputy Director of the Department of Digital Development and Information Technologies of the Russian Ministry of Health, remote monitoring of key health indicators for patients with hypertension and diabetes will be organized in six regions of Russia during 2022. To do this, patients will be attached to special portable devices, which, if any deviations are recorded, give a signal.
The pilot project is designed for two years, based on its results, requirements will be formed for assistant devices for monitoring and transmitting information from them. During the experiment, conditions will be worked out for the development of systems for supporting medical decision-making and artificial intelligence, as well as the possibility of producing domestic medical devices for remote tracking of health conditions.
The project will scale. As expected, by 2024, the services of personal medical assistants will cover at least 10% of patients in the Russian Federation who are at risk for the main diseases: hypertension, diabetes mellitus and chronic heart failure.
The project "Personal Medical Assistants" is spelled out in the passport "Strategies for the digital transformation of the Healthcare industry until 2024 and for the planning period until 2030."[5]
