Brainfon specializes in creating artificial intelligence technologies to identify neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and Parkinson's disease by analyzing a patient's voice and speech. This method is a non-invasive and potentially scalable screening tool.

Elena Vatutina, General Director of the PharmKnowledge analytical platform, noted the value of such projects for the state. Ildar Sattarov, head of the Alliance for Advanced Technologies, adds: traditional diagnosis of brain diseases requires significant time and money, while screening using AI can be 10-50 times cheaper.

To reach the stage of a mature product, medical technology projects (Medtech) need investments in the amount of 80 to 150 million rubles. The main costs are not related to the development of the algorithm, but to the collection of clinical data, conducting thorough research, obtaining regulatory approvals and integration into the medical infrastructure.

Ildar Sattarov explained that the support of state funds, such as FST NTI, provides projects with a "regulatory tunnel" - accelerated passage of the necessary tests and access to the infrastructure of clinics.[1]
