Materials and methods. The article summarizes the information on the functioning of software solutions as part of the epidemiological surveillance system for the period 2020–2023. An analysis of molecular genetic monitoring data based on the VGARus platform (Virus Genome Aggregator of Russia – a platform for aggregating the results of genome decoding of pathogens of infectious and parasitic diseases) for 2020–2023, as well as the results of PCR studies based on the SOLAR platform (System of laboratory aggregation results – a platform for aggregating the results of laboratory tests) for 2022–2023 and the dynamics of the incidence of a new coronavirus infection (COVID- 19) in the population of the Russian Federation was performed.
Results. The developed software solutions made it possible to effectively modernize the subsystems of epidemiological surveillance for COVID-19 due to changes in the collection and storage of information, as well as in the formation of an epidemiological diagnosis and short-term prognosis. The presented solutions serve as a reliable source of feedback to improve the efficiency of epidemiological control.
Conclusion. The use of digital platform solutions created by the Central Research Institute of Epidemiology, Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Well-Being, is substantiated. The effectiveness of the developed platforms is shown: VGARus, which acts as a system for aggregating information on virus genomes; SOLAR, which allows using data from PCR studies to monitor the spread of the pathogen; «EpidSmart – COVID module», which is used as an analytical tool for conducting operational and retrospective epidemiological analysis, and forecasting the spread of genetic variants of pathogens. The implementation of such software solutions is promising for improving epidemiological surveillance of other infectious diseases.
