Russia Deploys Remote Monitoring System for Pregnant Women

A new national project aims to make prenatal care in Russia more accessible and data-driven by using remote monitoring tools connected to a unified digital system.

Russia’s state corporation Rostech has launched a large-scale study to monitor pregnant women remotely using the 'Personal Medical Assistants' platform. The system integrates at-home cardiotocographs, blood pressure monitors, and glucometers into a single digital infrastructure, according to Rostec’s press office.

The goal is to allow pregnant women with elevated health risks to stay under constant medical supervision without having to frequently visit clinics. The study is based at the Kulakov National Medical Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Perinatology.

Academician Gennady Sukhikh of the Russian Academy of Sciences noted that the project aims to assess the effectiveness of remote monitoring, particularly for patients with hypertension and gestational diabetes, who require close oversight. The system runs on Russia’s IIoT.Istok platform, developed by the state holding company Roselectronics. Data collected from medical devices is analyzed using solutions from the company Doctis.

A previous pilot project involving remote care for patients with chronic illnesses proved successful, prompting its expansion into the perinatal care space.

The adoption of such technology reflects the global trend toward healthcare digitalization and is expected to significantly improve access to medical services in Russia.
