Elements of telemedicine are increasingly being introduced into all spheres of medical services for the population. One promising example is automated systems for remote pre-trip medical examination of drivers. However, most of the telemedicine systems used only control the basic parameters of the body provided for by law. An urgent task is to create methods and tools for a comprehensive assessment of the driver's health based on processing of a set of biomedical signals and data that allow tracking the dynamics of the functional and psychoemotional status.

Purpose – development of an automated system for remote medical examination of drivers, which allows not only to monitor basic health indicators for admission to a flight, but also to track indirect signs of fatigue, stress and exposure to psychoactive substances that can provoke inappropriate behavior on the road.

A microprocessor-based system for collecting and preliminary processing of information received from a set of biomedical sensors has been developed. The original modules for measuring blood pressure and pulse, non-contact temperature measurement and tremor parameters evaluating have been implemented. The set of diagnostic procedures for the pre-trip examination is implemented in a unified cycle, which ensures the complexity of the interpretation of the results.

The developed automated complex and the hardware and software tools included in it can be used to conduct pre-trip examinations of drivers of public and special transport, providing an increase in the diagnostic efficiency of identifying signs that are risk factors when the driver is allowed to work.
