The experience of clinical testing of the personal telemedicine system ‘Obereg’ for remote monitoring of patients at the intensive care units of leading Russian clinics is described. The high quality of communication with the remote receiving devices of doctors, the accuracy of measurements, resistance to interference from various hospital equipment and the absence of its own impact on such equipment were confirmed. There are significant advantages compared to stationary patient monitors, in particular, for intra and out-of-hospital transportation of patients.
An autonomous wearable patient monitor with the function of broadcasting the measured parameters via wireless channels of computer networks to the server (to the cloud), and from there to the central console of the department, remote computers, tablets and doctors’ smartphones was tested. It was used to monitor the vital parameters of the patient’s body during rehabilitation in the inpatient facility. Various load programs have been tested: exercise therapy, kinesiotherapy, mechanotherapy, and verticalization.
The article describes the experience of clinical testing of the personal telemedicine system (PTS) ‘Obereg’ for remote monitoring of patients with the consequences of severe conditions in leading Russian clinics. It is shown that such patients are at high risk of complications when transferred from the ICU to a normal ward with limited medical supervision and lack of instrumentation. The use of remote monitoring using the personal telemedicine system ‘Obereg’ allows to solve this problem. The results of the use of PTS ‘Obereg’ for the organization of monitoring in the home patronage of patients with limited mobility are presented. It is indicated that such devices should be used in an emergency situation similar to a coronavirus pandemic to monitor patients who are in infectious boxes and on home treatment.
The objective: to assess the potential use of the personalized telemedical system (PTS) of Obereg to ensure monitoring and constant medical control over the state of vital systems of the patient's body in the hospital, during transportation, and in out-of-hospital conditions.Subjects and methods. The Obereg system was tested in leading Russian clinics through simultaneous measurement of vital activity parameters with other standard patient monitoring systems. Comparative evaluation criteria were the following: functionality, measurement accuracy in comparison with stationary systems, reliability of operation, the impact on the operation of PTS of other equipment in the intensive care unit and possible interference, user friendliness for personnel and patients, and verification of communication capabilities based on field experiments. Additional parameters of the system were also evaluated. The need for it by medical units of the Ministry of Health of Russia was estimated.Results. The operability of the system has been confirmed in clinical conditions for patients of various profiles, including the most severe cases; it was found that the functionality of the system and accuracy of measurement met relevant requirements. It was estimated that the total demand for such systems in Russia might amount to 4,250,000 units.Conclusion. The device can be used for individual and group monitoring in intensive care units, in in-patient settings after transfer from intensive care, during rehabilitation for remote monitoring at home, and during patients' transportation to monitor their condition in case of emergency.
