BASIC COMPONENTS OF THE SOFTWARE MODULES CONSTRUCTION FOR OBTAINING, STORING AND EXCHANGING MEDICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION

Introduction. Currently, the exchange of medical information between healthcare facilities, data repositories, various mobile devices operating in a mobile medicine or telemedicine environment and patients is becoming increasingly important. 

Digital transformation in healthcare includes the use of electronic health records (EHR) in practical medicine, the information technologies creation for processing complex medical information using artificial intelligence, the telemedicine systems construction and the development of medical devices, software modules and mobile applications that completely change of the interaction between medical care providers, and the way of decisions regarding physicians` plans for diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and disease prevention. 

Currently, in order to increase the effectiveness of preventive measures against a wide range of diseases, there is an urgent need to develop environmental control systems and devices built using modern wireless technologies, cloud services and mobile communication systems. 

The purpose of the paper is to analyze the main requirements and components of information flows for obtaining and exchanging digital medical and environmental data and implement them in information and software modules for obtaining, saving and exchanging this information for further analysis. 

The results. Today, all health information operations directly depend on the level of interoperability in the healthcare industry, that is, the ability of different information systems, devices and applications to access, exchange, integrate and share data in a coordinated way to ensure timely and seamless information exchange and optimize the process of providing medical care. 

To ensure the appropriate level of interoperability, a set of characteristics has been formed for each subject/object of interaction, consistent with its role function in the process of medical data exchange. An adaptive architecture of the digital medicine ecosystem has been developed, which enables the integration of data exchange tasks between participants using web services. 

According to the target function, several groups of information flows are identified, which are implemented during the interaction of the main participants in the provision of medical care: patient — physician, patient — health facilities, physician — physician. Based on taking into account the role and ways of transferring personal medical information between participants, an algorithm for the exchange of personal medical data was created. 

The selected basic characteristics of the digital medical data exchange process and the requirements for the structure and functions of the information and software tools supporting this process are implemented in the information and software modules for saving and exchanging clinical information. 

Conclusions. Software modules should implement one of the main functions of the digital medicine ecosystem and environmental monitoring — obtaining, storing and exchanging digital medical data that circulates between ecosystem participants. The main feature of such exchange and storage is the implementation of the principles of interoperability, which makes it possible to quickly and efficiently perform similar functions. and environmental monitoring — receiving, saving 

The developed information and software modules of various purposes implement the methodology of activities in the digital medicine ecosystem with various software applications to create a unified information environment with the placement of a database on the health status of patients on any storage, in particular, cloud storage.

Keywords: digital medicine ecosystems, electronic medical records, disease risks, determination of concentrations of toxic chemicals, interoperability, information flows, data analysis methods, information and software modules, measurement sensors.
