Two Moscow digital initiatives have been recognized by the prestigious international BRICS Solutions Awards. The project “Digital Twin of Moscow” was recognized in the nomination “Platforms and Integrated Solutions for State and Public Administration”, and the initiative “Experiment on the Use of Innovative Computer Vision Technologies for Analyzing Medical Images and Subsequent Application in the Moscow Healthcare System” was recognized in the nomination “Biotechnology and National Healthcare”.
Artificial Intelligence to Help Healthcare Workers
The project “Research of Innovative Computer Vision Technologies for Medical Image Analysis and Implementation in the Moscow Healthcare System” is being implemented at the Diagnostics and Telemedicine Center of the Moscow Department of Healthcare. The project uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and interpret the results of various types of medical imaging, including CT, MRI, X-ray, fluorography, and mammography. Starting in 2024, this advanced technology will be available to healthcare workers across the country after integrating local infrastructure with the MosMedAI platform. The AI-powered interpretation processing system is currently operating in more than 10 regions.
“Our project is aimed at reducing the workload of specialists and improving the quality and speed of issuing conclusions. Over the past 4 years, AI has played an important role in supporting our radiologists. During this time, it has processed more than 13 million studies and is currently able to identify 38 different diseases. However, the final diagnosis and decision-making always remain with radiologists,” explained Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
“The neural network also performs automatic measurements for radiologists and generates radiological reports. We continue to develop this project, working on 22 more modalities. This experiment of such scale has no analogues in the world. Moscow was the first to implement such solutions at the city level, and we are confident that this experience will serve as an example for other cities and countries, showing how modern technologies can improve medical care and increase the efficiency of medical workers,” said Anastasia Rakova.
About the BRICS Solutions Awards
The BRICS Solutions Awards competition is organised annually by the country currently chairing BRICS. In 2024, Russia will chair the award, coordinated by the Agency for Strategic Initiatives in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation and the Roscongress Foundation. The award recognises promising projects that improve the quality of life in the BRICS countries. The competition promotes the exchange of knowledge and best practices, as well as the development of cooperation in the development and implementation of new technologies.
“We are pleased to host the BRICS Solutions Awards in our country for the second time.
“This year, the competition received a record number of applications – more than 1,300 from all BRICS member countries,” said Svetlana Chupsheva, Director General of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives. She noted that the nominations that attracted the greatest interest from participants were “Artificial Intelligence and Digital Services,” “New Industry and Energy,” and “Biotechnology and National Health,” which underscores the growing importance of advanced technological solutions.
