[Mobile health technologies in cardiology].

Digital medicine is becoming an essential part of the healthcare system. The intense development of mobile technologies, the global coverage of mobile networks, and the growing attachment in the society to mobile devices have prompted the creation of mobile healthcare (mHealth). At present, mobile healthcare technologies have been tested in various cardiovascular diseases. Among the main tasks set for telemedicine, it is necessary to note improvements of general medical care, monitoring of patients' condition, accuracy of clinical diagnoses, timely correction of therapy, and improvement of emergency care. Clinical studies are performed in parallel with active work in the field of informational technologies to provide safety of data storage and intellectual processing. Finally, despite the broad public support for the development of this area of medicine, the search continues for methods to improve patients' compliance with the prescribed therapy. This article presents current information about the use of mHealth in cardiology, study results, prospects of mobile healthcare, and major difficulties in implementing projects in this area.
