Stages in the development of a system for remote monitoring of the state of health of people with chronic diseases are discussed, as are means of carrying out tasks at each stage, approaches to assessing ongoing state, and monitoring, controlling, and predicting exacerbations of chronic diseases.

An overview of the state and development of ozone therapy technologies in modern biomedical applications, as well as relevant apparatus and equipment, is presented based on reports at the XV International Scientific Conference "Physics and Radioelectronics in Ecology and Medicine - PhREME'2022." Descriptions and technical characteristics of ozone generators used in various applications, from household to clinical use, are given. Data from a comparative analysis of the main parameters of Russian- and foreign-made equipment for ozone therapy, as well as examples of promising innovative developments, are addressed.

Modern photonics methods are considered in relation to solving a number of diagnostic problems in practical medicine. The basic principles of the application of optical noninvasive diagnostic methods are described and examples are given: laser Doppler flowmetry, digital diaphanoscopy, Raman spectroscopy, spectrophotometry, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, and video capillaroscopy. The advantages and prospects of using photonics methods in clinical practice, making it possible to detect various pathological conditions of biological tissues, including those at the early stages of diseases, are demonstrated.

The challenges of constructing a noninvasive screening system for electrocardiodiagnostics, focused on visualization of electric potential maps on the surface of the epicardium, is addressed. A functional diagram of a module for recording multiple-lead electrocardiosignals is proposed, the essential component of which is a vest (in several standard sizes) worn by the subject and carrying pre-installed electrodes. Results obtained from experimental verification of the operation of the recording module are presented. The issues of computer processing of electrocardiosignals were addressed and led to the ability to obtain 2D maps of the electric potential on a spherical quasi-epicardium, these 2D maps changing synchronously with changes in the position of the time marker on electrocardiograms familiar to cardiologists.

The results of an analytical review of various antennas used in medicine are presented. Issues of modern microwave radiothermometry related to the development of new antennas are discussed, as well as possible ways to solve them. The tasks of further research aimed at creating new designs for conformal antennas and antenna arrays providing a significant expansion of the functionality and improvements in the characteristics of medical radiothermographs are formulated. The study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (Grant No. 22-19-00113), https://rscf.ru/project/22-19-00113/.

Three approaches to automatic measurement of the diameter of pulsating blood vessels on ultrasound images in the video stream mode are considered. The use of such approaches for continuous monitoring of vascular wall movements during the cardiac cycle provides for both early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and identification of risk factors for these diseases (in particular, vascular atherosclerosis). The operation of the proposed algorithms was studied using sets of ultrasound images of real patients' blood vessels. Experimental results are presented demonstrating that these algorithms can be used for solving clinical problems, including for further building of models of vessel pulsation.
