Medical AI in Russia Will Operate Under a National Standard
Russia is introducing a full set of national standards to ensure safe, consistent, and transparent deployment of artificial intelligence in the medical sector across the country
Russia has developed a comprehensive set of national standards designed to support safe, clear, and unified integration of artificial intelligence into healthcare nationwide. Standardization helps make diagnostic technologies and remote-monitoring tools more accessible to regional hospitals and enables physicians to make decisions more quickly.
Regulating Medical AI
Moscow-based specialists have created 22 national standards governing AI services in clinics, remote patient monitoring, predictive analytics algorithms, and clinical decision-support systems. Nine standards are already in effect, while five more will come into force in January 2026.
According to Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, the standards are rooted in the practical experience of the city’s healthcare system, where AI has long been used to analyze medical data and support diagnostics.
Federal Integration of Medical AI
Meanwhile, federal adoption of these technologies is accelerating. The MosMedAI platform—which automates the analysis of radiology scans—is already connected in 74 regions. More than two thousand medical organizations use the system to process imaging data without volume limits, and specialists from the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine perform monthly quality assessments. Since launch, AI services have analyzed over eight million medical images.
“Standardizer of the Year”
For its contribution to developing unified approaches in medical AI, Moscow’s Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine received the “Standardizer of the Year – 2025” award. The competition recognized achievements across multiple sectors, but the medical block stood out as one of the most technologically advanced and in-demand at the federal level.
