Assessing the integral health indicator of schoolchildren on the basis of innovative technologies

Abstract

Introduction. The health of schoolchildren is the foundation for the educational process and the key to success in future work activities. The current level of development of technology and information technology allows you to bring health monitoring to a new, higher quality level. Purpose of the study: on the basis of a comparison of various historically established approaches to assessing the health of schoolchildren, to identify the main development trends and promising technologies suitable for determining the integral indicator of the health of schoolchildren. Research methodology and techniques. The research is theoretical. To search for information about innovative technologies, we analyzed scientific articles in Russian and English, taken from scientometric databases. As a result, we selected 14 technologies that were more consistent with the requirements of minimum time consumption, distance and invasiveness. Results. Technologies used in biomechanics, medicine, forensic science, navigation together can make it possible to comprehensively assess the psychological, neurodynamic, motor and energy components of schoolchildren's health. The most promising systems for assessing the health of schoolchildren are the following systems: an image processing system (technology for detecting and recognizing faces, technology for recognizing facial expressions and gestures), an optoelectronic measuring system (motion capture technology), an internal thermometry system (acoustothermometry), a navigation system, an electromagnetic measuring system, system of content analysis of Internet traffic, strain-dynamometric system, as well as neurotechnological system. The proposed approach requires significant information resources for the accumulation and automated processing of large amounts of information in a single analytical centre. The use of artificial intelligence algorithms will allow detecting hidden relationships of health indicators, assessing risks and giving personalized recommendations. On the basis of the information collected, it is planned to create an electronic passport of schoolchildren's health with further integration of this module into the domestic educational complex of an electronic student's diary.
