The issue of ensuring the reliability of the functioning of global systems of remote online monitoring of the condition of patients is considered. Such systems are in demand especially in the context of a pandemic.

Monitoring is carried out "transparently" for the patient, without involving him in the subtleties of the process of interaction with the medical institution. At the same time, the patient's mobility is ensured thanks to the proposed concept of a wearable online monitoring device. Initialization of the online monitor and distribution of functions in it is performed using a software procedure on the system server.

The main threats to the reliability of the normal functioning of distributed systems with online monitors are the existing problems of communication networks, violation of the parameters of the functioning of the wearable device, incorrect actions of the patient.

The purpose of the work is to offer solutions to ensure reliable operation of wearable devices as part of online monitors. Namely, preventing the loss of recorded measurements, failures of communication modules, overheating of the device, on/off errors, incorrect actions of the patient, etc.

To do this, an event log is implemented in a separate memory module in the wearable device, which only the system administrator has access to. Based on the content recorded in the event log, recommendations are formed to exclude failures during further use of the wearable module.
