Abstract
<jats:p>Currently, there is a critical need for eHealth technologies capable of enhancing driving safety by accurately assessing a driver’s functional state through regular health screening and monitoring, visual observation, and analysis of vehicle behaviour. Leveraging contemporary technological capabilities, Russian scientists and developers have introduced an innovative system for remote pre-trip medical examinations of professional drivers. This system integrates hardware and software components that automatically record physiological parameters, capture visual examination data, and transmit this information to a medical centre in real time. The outcome is an electronic document that holds the legal validity of a medical certificate. A key advantage of this technology is its speed: the entire examination cycle takes no more than 2—3 minutes. Moreover, the solution demonstrates substantial economic efficiency through significant optimisation of medical personnel utilisation. A single remotely operating medical professional can perform up to 100 examinations per hour. This innovative approach entirely eliminates superficial procedures limited solely to alcohol testing, thereby ensuring a comprehensive health assessment for every driver. The system’s capacity enables the processing of up to 30,000 examinations per day, forming the foundation for a large-scale medical database. Analysis of this data facilitates early detection of occupational diseases, timely adjustment of therapeutic and preventive interventions, and a reduction in the risk of road traffic incidents.</jats:p>
