Mobile application for ambulance doctors tested in Kursk region

2022: Test Totals

On April 12, 2022, it became known that the results of testing the mobile application for ambulance doctors and CARDIONET hospitals in the first pilot region were summed up. The application optimizes the delivery of patients to hospitals and informs the medical staff about their appearance in advance. According to the calculations of the initiators of the project, as a result of its implementation throughout the country, 1350 human lives can be saved every year, 63 billion rubles can be saved . GDP and save on fuel.

As reported, the testing of the CARDIONET mobile application took place for two months Kursk region by ambulance while routing patients with infarction to hospitals. The delivery time of patients due to the introduction of a project solution on average in the region was reduced by 10.4 minutes, and in four districts of the region the time savings ranged from 41.5 to 95.4 minutes, while the predicted decrease mortality from myocardial infarction ranged from 10.4% to 23.9%. Detailed results of the approbation were published in the scientific journal "Social Aspects." health population

With heart attacks, delay in the literal sense of death is similar: every half hour, delays in providing care to patients with cardiovascular diseases increase the likelihood of death of the patient by 7.5%. At the same time, more than 80% of people with a heart attack end up in the hospital more than two hours after seeking help, according to the Monitoring of the implementation of measures to reduce mortality from IBS.

This is also due to the fact that when choosing a route for delivering a patient to the hospital, the real road situation, the time of year and the daily fluctuation of traffic are not taken into account. Plus the human factor: errors in choosing a route. The routing of patients, as a rule, does not provide for interregional communications, since it is unprofitable for the regions to give their patients, since they lose money that goes to another region. Although in the case of emergency pathologies, the mechanism of inter-territorial calculations in the compulsory medical insurance is debugged and works well. told Bogdan Oleinik, Chairman of the Board of ANO "Center for the Development of Digital Technologies in Healthcare"

A solution to the problem was found in 2021 during the training of Bogdan Oleinik at the Center for Training Leaders and Teams of Digital Transformation of the Higher School of Economics, RANEPA. On the Digital Transformation and Digital Economy program, he and his project team determined the technical requirements for the CARDIONET mobile application and prepared project documents.

CARDIONET was integrated with the "2GIS" system and can work on a mobile device offline, without coverage of the cellular network. This is especially important for remote areas with unsustainable cellular communications. The application determines how much the patient to go to the hospital, forms a queue of patients depending on the traffic situation and prompts hospital doctors what kind of medical care will be required.

The project solution provides for the creation of a single supra-regional ambulance system and interregional routing of emergency patients when they are taken to the nearest hospital, even if it is located in another region.

The pilot project in the Kursk region was presented with the methodological support of the Center for Competencies of the Digital Transformation of the Health Sector of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation under the scientific supervision of Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Starodubov. Supervision by the Kursk region was carried out by the regional Committee for Digital Development and Communications together with the regional Health Committee.

According to the results of the pilot in the Kursk region, it is planned to scale the project first in the Volga Federal District, and then to other regions. The functionality of the software product is planned to be expanded to other situations requiring emergency delivery of patients to the hospital: assistance will be provided not only to patients with heart attacks, but also with injuries from road accidents, strokes, urgent childbirth, acute surgical pathologies.
