Mobile application: expert digital medical decision support system «Endoscopic hemostasis of ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding»

Emergency surgical pathology is one of the most difficult and complex problems of clinical surgery. Ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding occupies a special place in the structure of urgent surgical diseases. A promising technology for improving medical care for patients with ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding is the use of expert digital algorithms to support medical decision-making.

Objective - to develop a mobile application «Expert digital decision support system for endoscopic hemostasis of ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding».

Materials and methods. At the first stage of the work, an algorithm for endohemostasis of ulcerative bleeding in the form of a decision tree was developed. However, the decision tree is extremely inconvenient, which has limited the possibilities of its practical application. The development of the mobile application «Expert digital decision Support system for Endoscopic hemostasis of ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding» (Certificate of state registration of the computer program № 2024680004 RU) allowed to solve this disadvantage of the algorithm.

Results. The developed mobile application «Expert digital medical decision support system Endoscopic hemostasis of ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding» is a program implemented for smartphones and tablets, which allows on-line and off-line modes to evaluate personalized clinical features of patients with various types of ulcerative bleeding and to give doctors expert recommendations on tactics of emergency endohemostasis and prevention of recurrence of bleeding. The mobile application provides doctors with quick access to an expert algorithm for endohemostasis of ulcerative bleeding, which speeds up decision-making in a limited time, and also allows doctors, relying on this algorithm, to improve the quality of medical care.

Conclusion. Thus, for the first time, the mobile application " Expert digital medical decision support system Endoscopic hemostasis of ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding» was developed, implemented for smartphones and tablets, allowing to evaluate personalized clinical manifestations of ulcerative gastroduodenal bleeding and provide expert recommendations on patient treatment tactics.
