Abstract: The work aims to produce a scientific and technological potential in the field of telemedicine for the timely detection and abortion of the cardiovascular system (CVS) diseases through the remote monitoring of the major physiological measures in a human. For this purpose, an experimental model of the hardware-software package was designed and developed for a non-invasive remote wireless diagnosis of the CVS functional status in humans based on the photoplethysmography method consisting of an optical sensor and software that performs a comprehensive analysis of a pulse wave, showing the heart rate values along with the real-time assessment of physical activity. The developed method of remote wireless data transmission to a doctor's workplace as well as to the ambulance service, to which the signal on the critical life-threatening situations may be transmitted in on-line mode, solves a wide range of medical and social problems, such as constant cardiac monitoring, clinical and diagnostic tests, and emergency response. The experimental research on the device was carried out. Within a month, the device was measuring the physiological CVS parameters and the physical activity in 10 healthy volunteers. The results showed that the analysis and processing of data allows doctors to conduct remotely a qualitative analysis of the hemodynamics status. It is assumed that the widespread introduction of the developed hardware-software package will improve the results of treatment in patients with CVS pathology as well as increase the length and quality of life among the population.
