The key task of a follow-up in obstetric practice is to monitor maternal and fetal health parameters with early detection of deviations from their normative values throughout pregnancy and in the postpartum period. This makes it possible to make timely decisions regarding interventions aimed at preventing adverse outcomes for both the mother and her child. Taking into account the existing shortage of healthcare workers, the limited capabilities of the medical infrastructure, an uneven population density, and availability of health care in various regions of the Russian Federation, the task of ensuring monitoring during pregnancy becomes particularly relevant. The above problem can be effectively solved by using such a rapidly developing telemedicine technology, such as tele-follow-up (TFU). The data available in the literature indicate the safety, acceptability and effectiveness of TFU in obstetric practice, which provides early detection of the complications of pregnancy, an improved control over its course, and a lower risk for adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. TFU is designed to increase the availability and quality of health care, to improve the effectiveness of decision-making, and to reduce the economic costs of pregnancy management.
Conclusion: Further large-scale prospective studies based on the principles of evidence-based medicine will be able to confirm the validity of TFN introduction in obstetric practice as an effective telemedicine technology. Along with this, there is a need to solve the organizational and methodological issues related to the elaboration of algorithms for telemetric follow-up, to the reasonable formation of payment rates for telemedicine services, to the overcoming of the shortage of qualified personnel, by training specialized healthcare professionals to work under the conditions of using modern telemedicine technologies.
