Modern digital technologies save lives and radically improve the quality of human treatment. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin wrote about this on his personal blog.
“Just 10-15 years ago, digitalization of healthcare was considered as an auxiliary technology for solving organizational problems – reducing queues to doctors, establishing control, putting things in order with documentation, and so on. All this, of course, is still relevant today. But that’s far from the main thing. The main thing is that modern digital technologies really save lives and radically improve the quality of treatment for people,” the mayor said.
According to the head of the city, artificial intelligence has become a reliable assistant to therapists in clinics, helping them make the correct diagnosis and create lists of necessary tests. The challenge for the coming years is to turn AI into a core medical technology.
