Digitalization in Healthcare and Telecommunication Support Systems in Medicine

Abstract

Digital transformation and information integration provide operational management of information and communication processes in many industries. The use of digital and telemedicine technologies in healthcare is particularly important. The article presents the directions of development of telecommunication projects in medicine and considers the main tools and applications for creating an automated medical history in a digital environment. The methods of intellectual support of complex test solutions for the electronic medical history in the field of teleneurology are described. The methods of knowledge representation in telemedicine systems using rule-templates are considered. It is noted that the rule base can accelerate the comparison of patient data and the development of diagnostic hypotheses, providing data search and their distribution into separate groups in accordance with the context of a particular medical problem. The authors note that the stage of conceptual analysis or structuring of knowledge is traditionally (along with the extraction stage) a "bottleneck" in the life cycle of developing intelligent decision support systems. The development of intellectual support systems for integrated test solutions in the field of neurology belongs to this class of complex systems, since they have the main signs of complexity (hierarchy of concepts, intra-element and inter-element communication, etc.). The complexity of designing such systems is determined mainly by the complexity of subject areas, as well as the complexity of describing the behavior of individual subsystems.
