The purpose of this chapter is to highlight the opportunities for digitizing important processes in the healthcare system to improve the efficiency of population health management. The introduction of these digital processes will increase patient satisfaction with the healthcare system, as well as provide a holistic outlook of patient health through access to data and give patients more control over their own health. Healthcare managers will also be using the developed internet applications to conduct clinical audits and monitor health problems in the administrative district. It is proposed to develop and use free internet applications and computer programs, namely 1) drug compatibility test online application, which is designed primarily for students; 2) electronic individual antenatal drug passport for a promising way to predict, prevent, and reduce the risk of allergic reactions; and 3) medical intelligence app using the artificial intelligence technologies to develop an individual educational trajectory for doctors and pharmacists.

Висвітлено та узагальнено літературні дані, що стосуються захворюваності, особливостей клінічного перебігу та лікування лістеріозу у дітей, сучасні погляди на проблему. Найбільш розповсюдженою клінічною формою є лістерійний менінгіт. В Україні реєструється у вигляді спорадичних випадків. Описано рідкісний випадок лістеріозу з розвитком менінгіту у 4-річної дівчинки, затяжним перебігом хвороби та відсутністю чіткого паралелізму між загальним станом і динамікою змін у лікворі. Застосованим комплексом лікувальних заходів, що включали потужну антибактерійну терапію, досягнуто повного клінічного одужання хворої дитини на 28-й день стаціонарного лікування. Наведеним випадком аргументовано доцільність врахування результатів бактеріоскопічного дослідження ліквору (виявлення грампозитивних паличок) і виділення L. monocytogenes при бактеріологічному дослідженні.
Introduction: As more data is collected, hematologists will be able to gain more insight into the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on pediatric patients with hematological malignancies. Material and methods: We analysed 21 cases of COVID-19 in pediatric patients with onco-hematological diseases treated in the Western Ukrainian Pediatric Medical Center from March 2020 through May 2021. The majority of patients (71.4%) were diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. All patients from the analyzed cohort had an asymptomatic, mild or moderate course of coronavirus-19 infection. The most common symptoms of COVID-19 were fever, cough, gastrointestinal symptoms, and dermatitis. Severe severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 increased the risk of liver toxicity and venous thrombosis.
Results and conclusion: Our analysis showed that pediatric patients with hematological malignancies need the same treatment approach for COVID-19 as for other infective complications.
The aim: To determine the significance of multidisciplinary approach to management of pediatric patients with skin symptoms of food allergy.
Materials and methods: The study included of 36 patients aged 4 to 6 years with skin manifestations of food allergy, of which 18 were randomly included in the study group and had a multidisciplinary approach to treatment and the other 18 patients constituted a comparison group and used a standard therapy regimen. Observation of children was carried out for 3 months.
Results: Assessment of the severity of the cutaneous form of food allergy by SCORAD score showed the average degree of disease activity in the groups of the study at the beginning of treatment and significantly better dynamics in patients of the study group (p=0.0055). In 88.9% (n=16) of patients in the study group and 61.1% (n=11) of the control group, the process became mild.
Conclusions: The application of a multidisciplinary approach allows the integrated implementation of medical, nutritional, and psychological aspects, which significantly increases the effectiveness of treatment and improves the quality of life of patients and their parents.
