More than 20,000 people in Yakutia received remote health monitoring
Since the start of 2026, 20,051 patients in Yakutia have received remote health monitoring.
The service is for people with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other chronic conditions in the Russian republic.
Patients use medical devices to send health readings, including blood pressure, blood glucose or electrocardiogram results, to health workers.
Doctors can review changes and adjust treatment without requiring patients to travel for every check.
This can make care easier to access, especially for people in remote settlements, and reduce in-person visits when they are not needed.
