Nowadays, due to the growing need for remote care and the constantly increasing popularity of mobile devices, a large amount of mobile applications for remote care support has been developed. Although mobile phones are very suitable for young people, there are still many problems related to remote health care of the elderly. Due to hearing loss or limited movements, it is difficult for the elderly to contact their families or doctors via real-time video call. In this paper, we introduce a new remote health-care system based on moving robots intended for the elderly at home. Since the proposed system is an online system, the elderly can contact their families and doctors quickly anytime and anywhere. Besides call, our system involves the accurate indoor object detection algorithms and automatic health data collection, which are not included in existing remote care systems. Therefore, the proposed system solves some challenging problems related to the elderly care. The experiment has shown that the proposed care system achieves excellent performance and provides good user experience.

Introduction. The organization of medical assistance for employees of remote industrial facilities is a highly pressing task, and the role of medical evacuation in the health care system can hardly be overestimated. There is currently no unified medical evacuation system. There is no data on the structure of the reasons for evacuations and economic justification for the required amount of funding for this area in Russia. Purpose. The assessment of the structure of the reasons for medical evacuations of the personnel from remote industrial facilities and their possible relationship to seasonality, the profile of the enterprises, and the age of workers. Material and methods. Considering that men constitute most industrial facilities’ personnel, the analysis of 1,823 evacuations among male personnel (1,159 planned and 664 emergencies) was carried out. The structure of the reasons for evacuations was studied depending on the age, season, and industrial enterprise profile. The χ2 Pearson criterion (significance level p <0.05) was used to assess the significance of differences between analyzed indices. Results. In the structure of all evacuations of the personnel of remote industrial facilities, diseases of the circulatory system are the leading reason for evacuations, followed by injuries and poisoning, diseases of the digestive system and respiratory diseases. The main reason for emergency evacuations is injuries and poisoning. In the group of workers under 39 years old, injuries and poisoning, diseases of the digestive system and diseases of the circulatory system take the first three positions. In the more senior age groups, diseases of the circulatory system prevail, injuries and poisoning take second place, and digestive diseases take third place. Conclusion. The main directions in improving the health care system and maintaining the health of the personnel of remote industrial facilities include the development of the legal framework for activities in the field of remote health care, the organization of the unified state system of medical evacuations, the development and the implementation of telemedicine technologies, the organization of educational courses and training programs for medical professionals in the field of remote health care.

There are a multitude of reasons that a teletinnitus program can be beneficial, not only to the patients, but also within the hospital and audiology department. The ability to use technology for the purpose of tinnitus management allows for improved appointment access for all patients, especially those who live at a distance, has been shown to be more cost effective when the patients travel is otherwise monetarily compensated, and allows for multiple patient's to be seen in the same time slots, allowing for greater access to the clinic for the patients wishing to be seen in-house. There is also the patient's excitement in being part of a new technology-based program. The Gulf Coast Veterans Health Care System (GCVHCS) saw the potential benefits of incorporating a teletinnitus program and began implementation in 2013. There were a few hurdles to work through during the beginning organizational process and the initial execution of the program. Since the establishment of the Teletinnitus program, the GCVHCS has seen an enhancement in patient care, reduction in travel compensation, improvement in clinic utilization, clinic availability, the genuine excitement of the use of a new healthcare media amongst staff and patients, and overall patient satisfaction.
