The telemedicine support system for space crews at the landing site and the stages of evacuation works as follows.

At the landing site of the space crew, the mobile telemedicine complex 1 is delivered and turned on, which is a portable dust and water tight case with a set of software and hardware.

In the case of a standard landing with satisfactory well-being of the crew of the spacecraft using the diagnostic module 20, a standard diagnostic test is performed. To do this, the ECG logger 204 is connected with its electrodes to predetermined parts of the astronaut’s body, the cuff of the blood pressure recorder 205 is put on the astronaut’s hand, the blood oxygen level recorder 206 is fixed on the finger, and the respiratory rate recorder 207 is put on the chest or astronaut’s face, depending on the design of the sensor . After clicking on the start button of the diagnostic procedure in the control unit of the diagnostic module 208, the microcontroller 201 performs a single measurement cycle, during which an ECG is recorded in three leads for 30 seconds, blood pressure, oxygen level in the blood, and respiratory rate. The data obtained are displayed on the display of the diagnostic module 203 in graphical and digital form. After visual control, the results can be transmitted to the central processing unit 11 via a radio channel between the radio interface unit 202 and the radio interface controller 19. Using the special software of the central processing unit 11, you can view the received data on the built-in monitor 12 and connected via a standard interface, for example, USB, satellite phone 15 to transfer the received data to the server for storing electronic medical records 3. After that, by the same satellite The phone can connect to a remote consulting physician and discuss the need for further measures. A remote consultant can access diagnostic information through a stationary telemedicine complex 6, which includes a personal computer 61 connected to a network router 63, through which Internet access 4 is provided through a secure channel 10.

In the event of an abnormal landing of the space crew, the mobile telemedicine complex 1 is also turned on, the portable broadband satellite communication terminal 14 is set up and connected via the satellite communication system 2 to the stationary telemedicine complex 6 of the basic consultative diagnostic center. A color wireless video camera 18 and a radio headset 21 are connected to the video conferencing unit 13 via a wireless adapter 17. The color wireless video camera 18 is equipped with a light source for illuminating the subject under insufficient natural light and a laser pointer for positioning the camera lens on the subject without using a viewfinder.

After that, the video conferencing unit 13 is connected to the video conferencing system 62, which is connected to the communication satellite system 2 via the satellite communication device 64, so that the remote medical consultant can monitor the diagnosed astronaut and the actions of the rescuers.

After that, similarly to the procedure carried out in a regular situation, rescuers diagnose the condition of the astronauts, medical information is transmitted to the server storing electronic medical records, to which a remote consultant can access.

In addition, through video conferencing, a remote consultant can not only monitor the actions of rescuers, but also monitor the status of astronauts both visually and through dialogue with them.

If it is necessary to provide the astronaut with specialized medical care in a hospital setting, it is possible for rescuers to contact specialists of a medical institution allocated for hospitalization of astronauts in an emergency and via video conferencing to inform them about the current situation via mobile telemedicine complex 1. In this case, the mobile telemedicine complex 1 through satellite communication channels 7 communicates with the stationary telemedicine complex 6 of the required medical institution. After that, the mobile telemedicine complex switches to the monitoring mode of the condition of the injured astronaut during his evacuation from the place of landing in a medical facility. To do this, the diagnostic module 20 is transferred using the appropriate switch in the control unit of the diagnostic module 208 in the monitor mode of operation. In this mode, the diagnostic module 20 continuously records the ECG, blood pressure, oxygen level in the blood, and respiratory rate and transmits this data via the short-range radio channel 9, organized between the radio interface unit 202 and the radio interface controller 19, to the central processor unit 11, where they locally stored and encoded to reduce transmission. The quality control of the measured signals is carried out through the display of the diagnostic module 203. The central processor unit 11 transmits data via a satellite telephone 15 via satellite channels 7 or a cellular modem 16 via cellular channels 8 to a server for storing electronic medical records 3. A remote consultant can monitor the registered physiological parameters of the astronaut on his personal computer 61, connected via a network router 63 via the Internet 4 to the electronic storage server medical records 3 via a secure channel 10. A remote consultant can send recommendations in the form of text messages to mobile telemedicine complex 1 through a cellular network 5 or satellite 2.

The selection of the operating mode and control of the mobile telemedicine complex is carried out using the keyboard and trackball 22. In other embodiments, the keyboard and trackball of the mobile telemedicine complex can be replaced by a touch panel combined with the monitor of the mobile telemedicine complex.

The use of various types of wireless information transmission significantly expands the capabilities of the telemedicine support system for space crews at the landing site and the evacuation stages for the organization of optimal information exchange. Due to the fact that satellite broadband is significantly more expensive than other types of communications, the use of satellite telephones and cellular communications can reduce communication costs when operating the proposed telebiological support system for space crews at the landing site and the stages of evacuation. Broadband satellite communications are used for video conferencing sessions, and communications via satellite telephones and cellular communications are used to exchange medical data, which places less demands on the bandwidth of communication channels.

Thanks to the integration of diagnostic devices into a single diagnostic module, it is possible to significantly reduce the time for a diagnostic examination due to the simultaneous registration of various physiological parameters. The ability of the diagnostic module to work in a one-time measurement mode and in a physiological parameters monitoring mode allows you to use this unit in normal and emergency situations, including for monitoring the condition of astronauts during his evacuation to a medical institution for specialized medical care.

The use of diagnostic tools for the clinical and physiological parameters of the human body, their accumulation on a remote server with the ability to access via various communication channels, as well as the use of video conferencing technology for organizing interactive interactions at a distance of rescuers and medical consultants, can increase the efficiency of medical care provided to members space crews at the landing site and stages of evacuation by increasing the amount of recorded medical objective information , reducing the time for diagnosis and attracting qualified medical specialists for its analysis and joint decision-making, and the ability to remotely monitor the astronauts body parameters during their evacuation can significantly improve their safety at this stage.

The proposed system of telebiological support for space crews at the landing site and the stages of evacuation can also be used in providing medical assistance to victims of emergency situations, as well as to people working in extreme situations.
