Abstract:
Widely used advanced technologies today provide tools for creating modern information platforms that support software for processing and analysing data in different areas of human life. The creation of web-based information platforms makes it possible to exploit the advantages of internet storage and maintenance of large volumes of information and access to this information in real time by different users. The information platforms can be successfully applied for educational purposes - they are an effective opportunity to create basic and additional knowledge and skills for the learners.

The report presents an information platform model for the collection, processing, analysis and storage of medical data. The software platform supports means to input incoming information for individuals undergoing medical research; physiological information; processing software and means of storing the results obtained. The software system performs mathematical analysis on input physiological data, calculates important parameters for the health of individuals and produces useful graphical results.

The information system model proposed in the report was created to store and analyse information cardiac records of patients obtained through holter monitoring. Physiological data is large, take up much memory and therefore an effective solution for their storage is proposed through the use of cloud technologies rather than in the local servers of medical institutions. The information content of cardiac data is well structured and indexed to provide quick access to data.

The information platform is created to solve the tasks of a scientific project under the Scientific Research Fund of the Republic of Bulgaria, in which is provided conducting a study of patients with various cardiac diseases. The information platform makes it possible to store records of an individual made over a period of time to monitor the development of the disease and the effect of the treatment.

The platform information - input and results obtained through mathematical analysis can be used for the purpose of training of medical specialists at the universities of the Republic of Bulgaria. The information system can support cardiology training, providing real information on the development of the cardiac disease and the effect of treatment. The platform may be developed and as a mobile application that students will be able to use on a daily basis to acquire new knowledge, improve their skills in the particular medical specialty in which they are trained, and improve their learning outcomes.
