History
2026: Agreement to establish a laboratory for clinical evaluation and refinement of medical AI
On February 16, 2026, an agreement on scientific cooperation was signed between the South Ural State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia and the developer of digital systems for health care "Platform Third Opinion."
The agreement was concluded for a period of five years. The document was signed by acting Rector of the YUUGMU Olga Abramovskikh and General Director of Platform Third Opinion Anna Meshcheryakova.
The parties plan to create a joint laboratory on the basis of the UGMU, focused on clinical assessment and refinement of AI models intended for use in medical practice. We are talking about both the development of new digital solutions and the improvement of existing AI services.
It is assumed that on the basis of the laboratory, work will be organized on the formation of a medical technical assignment for developers, refinement of algorithms with the participation of doctors and scientists, collection and analysis of clinical data, testing and clinical trials in accordance with the current requirements for software medical devices, as well as the formation of an evidence base for their application.
| It is fundamentally important for us that the development and implementation of medical AI solutions go in close conjunction with clinical practice and the educational process. The creation of the laboratory will unite the competencies of the university and the industry, involve students and young researchers in real projects and ensure a correct clinical assessment of digital technologies intended for the work of a doctor, - said Olga Abramovskikh. |
The project involves expanding the practice-oriented training of students, their participation in interdisciplinary teams together with developers and clinicians and working with real digital tools as part of clinical assessment and improvement of solutions.
Thus, the laboratory will become a platform where medical expertise, scientific work and technological development will be combined to create and develop AI tools focused on practical healthcare tasks.
