EVALUATION OF ELECTRONIC DIGITALIZATION IN PRIMARY MEDICINE IN PREVENTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES IN THE POPULATION
Main Article Content
Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death among the population in recent years, posing a serious challenge to healthcare systems and public health. Effective prevention strategies are essential to reduce disease incidence, improve early detection, and enhance long-term disease management. In recent years, electronic healthcare services, including telemedicine, electronic medical records, mobile health applications, and remote patient monitoring, have emerged as important tools in cardiovascular disease prevention. Particular attention is given to the use of digital health technologies for risk assessment, early diagnosis, lifestyle modification, and continuous monitoring of cardiovascular risk factors. Understanding the potential of electronic healthcare services in cardiovascular disease prevention may support the development of more effective, accessible, and sustainable public health strategies.
