Abstract
Currently, home monitoring of patients' health with delayed consultations is becoming one of the main methods of telemedicine. However, the lack of scientific research prevents the widespread introduction of home health monitoring into health care practice. The paper analyzes the inclusion of home health monitoring of patients suffering from chronic diseases, functional disorders and other conditions in the existing health care system. A case with a delayed doctor's consultation is considered. The mathematical modeling of monitoring was carried out considering the periodicity of observations. It is shown that the more reliable home monitoring detects critical conditions and the smaller the proportion of conditions not detected by it, the less often stationary observations are required. Accordingly, with the same expenses for clinical examination, the quality of examinations can be significantly improved. Methods for calculating the period between observations for a given probability of missing life-threatening conditions are proposed.
Key words
