Abstract
Modern telecommunication solutions have been gradually penetrating the medical field. For example, in the field of electroencephalography (EEG), cloud-based databases remotely accessing to examination data have recently become widespread. Given the shortage of qualified specialists, especially in small Russian cities, the ability to remotely interpret EEG examinations opens up new opportunities for providing highly qualified medical care to the population. Telemedicine technologies are gradually moving beyond simple teleconsultations. Wearable medical devices for home use are emerging, taking many diagnostic methods, including video-EEG monitoring, to a new level, increasing the availability of diagnostic methods, and developing screening methods, thereby improving the overall accessibility and quality of medical care. This article provides an overview of modern capabilities for cloud storage and remote access to EEG examination data.
