Moscow, Russia – July 2025
The future of healthcare is becoming smarter, and Russia has just marked a major milestone. The Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine of the Moscow Health Department, in partnership with RTU MIREA (Russian Technological University), has officially celebrated the graduation of the first-ever master's students trained specifically in medical artificial intelligence (AI).
This historic event highlights the growing global trend of integrating AI into medical practice — and how countries like Russia are investing in specialized education to prepare the next generation of digital healthcare innovators.
The Master’s in Intelligent Data Analysis program was created as part of a joint effort between Moscow’s Health Department and RTU MIREA. This was not just another university course — it was the first academic program in Russia to blend deep scientific AI knowledge with practical, real-life clinical experience gained from the Moscow citywide project on computer vision in healthcare.
The Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine contributed its hands-on experience in deploying AI systems across hospitals, while RTU MIREA offered strong academic expertise in computer science, mathematics, and engineering. Additionally, experts from Third Opinion Platform — a major Russian AI company specializing in radiology diagnostics — were involved in designing the course curriculum and training students.
The graduation ceremony was held on June 10, 2025, and the results of this program are already impressive. Students in the program developed several real-world innovations that could change how diseases are diagnosed and treated in the near future.
One student developed an AI algorithm capable of detecting liver tumors at an early stage with 85% accuracy — a major leap forward in cancer diagnostics. Others created advanced clinical decision-support systems, designed to help doctors make faster and more accurate medical decisions.
These student projects were recognized at the All-Russian Engineering Competition, where one graduate took home the national winner’s award, and six others were named laureates. These innovations aim to reduce the time between cancer detection and surgery, potentially saving thousands of lives.
Anton Vladzimirsky, Deputy Director of R&D at the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine, emphasized how AI is no longer just a futuristic concept — it’s becoming a working tool in real hospitals.
"The integration of artificial intelligence into medical practice is becoming a reality through the training of highly qualified specialists. Our graduates have a rare combination of skills — they understand both medicine and advanced technology — which allows them to build digital healthcare solutions that can truly make a difference."
Stanislav Kudzh, Rector of RTU MIREA, also praised the program’s success:
"These first graduates have shown that deep interdisciplinary learning — where students study both technology and healthcare — is key to bringing AI into real medical use. They are now ready to lead the development of smart solutions that can improve patient care, speed up diagnosis, and help modernize healthcare across Russia."
RTU MIREA, or the Russian Technological University, is one of the country’s leading technical universities, with over 30,000 students. Its Institute of Artificial Intelligence runs 17 AI-related programs and has a strong focus on combining classroom learning with real industry experience. Students regularly work on projects linked to IT, robotics, biotechnology, and advanced electronics — all of which are vital in the age of digital medicine.
The Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine, under the Moscow Health Department, is responsible for modernizing healthcare delivery in the capital city. Since 2020, it has led a major project testing AI and computer vision tools in radiology, analyzing over 14 million medical images across 40 clinical areas.
Through the MosMedAI platform, the center provides doctors with automated image analysis tools for faster, more accurate diagnoses. These AI systems are now used in 71 Russian regions, helping to improve access to healthcare in both major cities and remote areas. The center has also registered over 200 medical technology patents and published 800+ scientific studies.
Third Opinion Platform is a Russian tech company that builds AI tools to support radiologists and lab doctors. Their technology can identify over 100 medical conditions, including strokes, lung cancer, and aneurysms. Their systems have already analyzed over 10 million medical studies and are approved for clinical use by Russia’s health authorities.
Their tools are currently in use across 58 Russian regions and are integrated into hospitals, private clinics, and diagnostic centers — including major institutions like the European Medical Center (EMC). The company works closely with large healthcare providers like MEDSI Group, one of Russia’s biggest private hospital networks.
This graduation marks a major step forward in the global shift toward digital and AI-driven healthcare. As hospitals around the world look for smarter, faster, and more efficient ways to treat patients, Russia’s example shows how close collaboration between government, academia, and industry can bring real solutions to life.
By combining the power of artificial intelligence with human medical expertise, programs like this are training a new generation of professionals — ones who can truly shape the future of medicine.
