The analysis of the results of the sociological study «Digital Technologies for Tomichs» of the elderly, carried out in Tomsk (May, 2021) using the focus-group discussion methodology, was carried out. The study showed that many elderly citizens have no psychological readiness and sustained motivation to integrate into digital reality. Causal relationships have been identified between the multifaceted involvement of older citizens in society and their skills in mastering and using digital technologies, which make people stronger and society as a whole more inclusive in the face of the digital future. Recommendations on the involvement of older people who have an interest in promoting ideas of digital quality of life and the opportunity to use new services in the process of digital transformation as active actors for the formation of a new, attractive and safe digital future are offered.

This study aims to: (1) understand the impact of patient characteristics in shaping the temporal viral load trajectory and (2) establish a data collection protocol (DCP) to reliably reconstruct individual viral load trajectories.
