📋 Tender Overview
A pilot project for remote monitoring of the health of patients with hypertension, or, more simply, high blood pressure, has been launched in 18 medical institutions in the Novgorod Region. The technology was provided by Rostelecoms subsidiary, RT Doctis. It is expected that at least 6,000 patients will be covered by remote monitoring during the pilot stage.
Olga Rodionova, Director of the Novgorod and Pskov Regions Branch of PJSC Rostelecom:
Today, digitalization of healthcare is not only a priority task of the national project Healthcare, but also one of the most important areas of Rostelecoms work. The digital solution will help patients at risk monitor their health, avoiding unnecessary visits to the hospital. Doctors will be able to make a timely decision on the urgency of providing medical care based on the current data from the devices. On the remote monitoring platform, doctors receive data on the condition of patients in an automated form, and patients receive information on their health and medical reports.
High blood pressure is recognized by the medical community as the most common pathology among cardiovascular diseases. People over 40 years of age are at risk, the majority of whom are middle-aged and elderly women. The use of remote monitoring will significantly increase access to patient monitoring, including in remote areas, and prevent the development of exacerbations and complications of the disease.
Patients condition is monitored using personal medical assistants - remote high-tech devices and services. The monitoring process includes several stages: after an in-person appointment, the attending physician gives the patient with arterial hypertension a diagnostic device free of charge and explains how to use it. The patient is required to regularly measure the indicators, which are automatically transmitted to the medical institution for further processing by specialists. Upon completion of monitoring, the attending physician draws up a report, and in case of deviation of the indicators from the norm, conducts an online consultation to adjust the therapy.
The project will last in the region until the end of 2025, in the future it is planned to introduce a module for remote monitoring of the health of pregnant women in medical institutions of the Novgorod Region.
