Russia May Create a Unified Health Management Platform
The system is designed to bring together all industry participants, from insurers and clinics to pharmacies and the wellness sector.
Evgeny Abakumov, a board member at Medscan Group and chief information and digital officer at Rosatom, told Vedomosti that a new digital platform is being developed to allow small clinics to compete on equal terms with large healthcare groups.
According to Abakumov, the initiative could address the fragmentation of Russia’s private healthcare market. The platform would connect smaller clinics to a broad range of medical services and allow them to plug into a single, continuous patient care pathway.
Clinics that join the unified ecosystem would gain technological integration, quality standards, and access to a shared digital patient journey. Participating companies would be able to break out of isolation, scale their services, and strengthen their reputations through guaranteed standards.
An Ecosystem Beyond Healthcare
Another planned direction for the platform is to build a human-centered ecosystem that goes beyond healthcare alone. The developers propose including adjacent areas such as nutrition, fitness, and pharmaceuticals.
He added that the project is, above all, about creating a data platform. This would require a centralized system whose participants include not only clinics and patients, but also a dedicated data operator.
