So, in 2018, they predicted almost $ 40 billion. Let's see if it will come true.

- an increase in the proportion of the elderly population;
- the spread of diseases requiring round-the-clock surveillance;

Gadgets and medical telecommunications schemes
In continuation of the topic of gadgets, it is appropriate to recall the speech of the author of the books “Mobile marketing” and “Mobile Networking” Leonid Bugaev . He showed a lot of examples of wearable devices, interfaces and super interfaces.
In addition, he cited the results of an entertaining survey: provided that your favorite brand created the mHealth device you need, how would you prefer to wear it? So, 29% voted for the option “attached to clothes”, 28% - on the wrist, 18% - attached to the shoes. The least popular were ideas with devices around the chest (6%), in the form of contact lenses (4%) or tattoos (3%). See all versions .
Speaking about the communications system in medicine, in most cases one option comes to mind: the patient is a doctor. In fact, these schemes - eight, and each has its own characteristics. Alexei Alekseev , head of the analytical department of Med-YurKonsalt and a specialist in neurology at the Alfa-Center Health Center, introduced the technologies that correspond to a particular system .
For example, the simplest version of the "patient - digital device" just means tonometers, heart rate monitors, blood glucose meters and mobile gadgets. Their task is to signal danger.
Patient – MIS scheme- the doctor ”should take into account the structure and detailing of templates when filling out the IIA, the internal structure of quality control (combination of filling in separate EHR blocks, the relationship of symptoms / complaints or diagnosis with the available recommendations), correspondence types of patient monitoring and external monitoring of the quality of care.
