Abstract
Background: Patient-centered medical care is one of the most promising areas in the development of digital healthcare, including remote monitoring of pregnant women’s health, since it meets the demand for improved access and quality of medical services.
Objective: To analyze the experience of using a system of remote monitoring and control of pregnancy, including the possibility of monitoring high-risk pregnancies, to evaluate the use of remote monitoring of pregnant women’s health using a cloud-based digital platform and to assess the potential for its future implementation based on prospective follow-up in Orenburg.
Materials and methods: The remote monitoring system for pregnancy health is a cloud-based digital platform, web application, and symptom-based surveillance scripts. The qualitative study was based on prospective follow-up of 2,488 pregnant women and 489 women who gave birth. A total of 18,206 questions asked by pregnant women to their attending physicians and 4,013 notifications (‘alarms’) were studied. The notifications were generated using the parameters entered by pregnant women on the Medsenger.AI remote monitoring platform, provided by AyPat LLC, in collaboration with the Orenburg Clinical Perinatal Centre and seven antenatal clinics in Orenburg. The data cover the period from 17 October 2023 to 20 May 2024.
Results: The system for remote monitoring of pregnant women’s health has received high marks from users. Professionals who were introduced to the system appreciated its usefulness in existing routine work. The study demonstrated the importance, convenience and accessibility to the patients. The time spent by the physician on participating in remote monitoring was assessed. There was a high demand for remote monitoring among pregnant women: 81% of participants used the platform, 86% of those who used it indicated that it was useful and convenient. The participant feedback score was 4.82 (out of 5).
Conclusion: A comprehensive scenario for remote monitoring of pregnant women has demonstrated that both patients and physicians are receptive to its integration into routine practice. The proposed tool can be used in the management of pregnancy at the primary specialist health care level.
