Abstract:
Diagnosis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains an actual problem in Russia. The lack of diagnostics and control of these diseases leads to serious consequences for public health and economic damage. Effective initiatives to improve the level of diagnosis and control of asthma and COPD include the organization of educational activities, instrumental methods of examination, the use of mobile offices for outreach work in remote communities and the introduction of medical information systems. The introduction of digital technologies into medical practice will help to improve the quality of medical care, increase the efficiency of medical centers, and ensure timely diagnosis and control of respiratory diseases. The introduction of modern approaches and methods in the diagnosis of asthma and COPD, active use of validated questionnaires and medical information systems will improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the risks of complications and exacerbations of diseases.
