The mobile application will save patients

The Deputy head of the Department of information technology Vladimir Makarov has announced a new app that develop the Moscow authorities. It should help patients to make an appointment, to remind you to take pills and suggest that the pharmacies you can buy the required medicines.

The application must be a full-time medical assistant. It shall keep a journal of research for health and give appropriate recommendations. The application can tell about the time of medication and to read information from sensors measuring pressure.

"We decided to make a personal mobile app that will be able to develop, to include the latest services. Application for entry to the medical practitioner, acting at the moment, does not belong to the metropolis. We have limited influence on the creators, tells Vladimir Makarov. The new app will be launched in the first quarter of 2015. Users of phones on the famous operating systems will be able to log in through a Single medical information-analytical system (the SYSTEM), enter your policy number and date of birth.

At the moment there is already an application SYSTEM, which can download the users of some phones, but not tablets. This application receives a lot of complaints. Users report that the appointment to the doctor turns out after a few tries, to choose the clinic not only doctors, occasionally the program shows that the deadline has already passed.

Future application expects to become not so much an instrument record to the health worker as a full-fledged medical assistant. In the Appendix will be found the components that abroad is called a Personal Health Record is an electronic card that is aimed at the patient. For example, allergies should keep diaries in which to outline your health and medication. Patients who are seen in nutritionists, record the number of calories consumed. All this can be done in the application, and health workers will see it. After some time, the application will support the information with other devices - for example, a sensor which monitors the pressure of the patient during the whole day," quoted M24 words Makarova.
