Abstract:
The digitalization of healthcare implies the widespread adoption of informatization and automation technologies for human health monitoring, aimed at maintaining, improving, and restoring health. To adapt existing e-health solutions to the medical infrastructure, we modeled expandable software components for automated cyber-physical patient monitoring in smart wards. A mathematical model of cyber-physical patient monitoring processes is presented, describing a medical algorithm as a relay race with alternative routes using a framework of parallel semi-Markov processes. The software components for cyber-physical patient monitoring are characterized as a flexible, expandable, and integrated element of a smart medical ward, enabling the personalization and optimization of treatment and diagnostic procedures using an objective function characterizing the deviation of the patient's current condition from their target condition. The potential for automating medical processes in the implementation of diagnostic and health risk assessment methods based on point scales is demonstrated. The simulation results showed that the use of software components for automated cyber-physical patient monitoring in smart wards not only accelerates calculations but also reduces the time required to obtain data through automatic downloading from information systems and automated readings from medical devices, opening up new opportunities for personalized management of inpatient medical care.
