Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: From Technological Breakthroughs to Systemic Changes
The digital transformation of healthcare is an integral part of the overall sustainable development of the healthcare system. Artificial intelligence tools, big data analytics, electronic medical records, and telemedicine solutions are changing the paradigm of diagnosis, treatment, and patient support. Digital platforms ensure the continuity of medical monitoring, increase the accuracy and speed of medical decision-making, and improve the availability and personalization of medical care. In the pharmaceutical sector, technologies accelerate drug development and facilitate efficient logistics management and the incorporation of personalized medicine principles. However, these new opportunities pose some serious challenges: issues related to ethics, data protection, digital inequality, and personnel training, all of which require an integrated approach. What is the place of AI in modern healthcare? What role is AI playing in the transformation of the medical education system? How can existing barriers be overcome to create more accessible and high-quality medical care? What kinds of challenges have been encountered by clinics and corporations that have experience working with AI technologies in their practices?

Opportunities of the Pharmaceuticals Industry
The Russian pharmaceutical market has seen steady growth in the production of generics, which are becoming increasingly attractive for both manufacturers and consumers. The development of generics helps to enhance the availability of medical care, significantly reduce treatment costs, implement import substitution policies, and further build on the industry’s technological potential. The main challenges facing the industry are a low level of medical literacy among the population and insufficient awareness about generic drugs among healthcare workers. To raise awareness, it is essential to conduct comprehensive educational campaigns for the population and educational work with healthcare professionals. Plans for the industry’s development include expanding the production of generics, boosting export potential, and attracting investment to produce generic drugs. Optimizing manufacturing processes and introducing modern technologies could increase production efficiency and expand the geography of generic drug supplies. Effective tools for enhancing public awareness, approval, and loyalty include educational campaigns for the population and explanatory educational work with healthcare professionals. What is the outlook for the production of generic drugs in Russia? How is the pharmaceutical industry structurally changing in Russia? What is behind the growth in the proportion of generics on the domestic market? What measures are being taken to raise awareness about generics among the population and medical workers? How is the quality of Russian generics controlled during their production? What kind of export potential does the domestic pharmaceutical industry have today?

Advanced Healthcare: The Joint Goal of the State and Business
As part of the implementation of strategic initiatives in Russia, large-scale national projects in healthcare have been launched to modernize infrastructure, introduce advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies, develop the industry’s human resources capacity, prevent diseases, and strengthen public health. The projects aim to improve approaches in medicine and create a technological healthcare system that focuses on the needs of patients and provides high-quality medical care at all levels. The government is paying particular attention to the development of preventive medicine and increasing the availability of high-tech care for the population. The transition to digital medicine has been a key focus as well. The introduction of innovative technologies has created a unified space to promptly exchange medical data, accelerate diagnostic processes, and improve quality control over services. The successful implementation of the projects requires effective interaction between the state and business, the development of public-private partnership mechanisms, the introduction of modern project management methods, as well as continuous monitoring of the effectiveness of the measures that are being implemented. What measures could enhance the efficiency of domestic drug and medical equipment manufacturers to ensure the industry’s technological sovereignty? What should we assess the experience gained from combatting unscrupulous suppliers and counterfeit drugs and what improvements need to be made? How can we strengthen the responsibility of business and protect the interests of citizens, primarily their lives and health? How can we improve the implementation of national projects and the experience of building the primary ‘three in one’ link of design, construction, and equipment?

Patent Issues in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Challenges and Opportunities
The pharmaceutical industry is on the cusp of major change. On the one hand, as the economy grows, the public’s demand for high-quality, accessible, and effective medical care also increases. On the other hand, drug manufacturers need to continue receiving incentives to create innovations and meet growing demand. More than 30 years have passed since the creation of the TRIPS Agreement, which laid the foundation for the recognition and protection of key intellectual property. Today, with one global challenge after another, the rapid transformation of Russia’s technological structure, and growing protectionism, finding a new point of balance between the interests of copyright holders and society is becoming an increasingly acute issue. How has the institution of intellectual property rights protection changed over the past decades? What gaps remain in patent regulation? What role can flexible licensing and state enforcement mechanisms play in responding to the urgent needs of healthcare and achieving the country’s national development goals? What barriers are preventing drug manufacturers from accelerating the transition to an innovative development path and guaranteeing the country’s technological sovereignty and drug security?

Medicine without Borders: New Opportunities for Tourism
Russia has enormous potential for the development of medical tourism due to its patient-centred approach, the professional skills of medical workers, high-quality service, and the availability and effectiveness of advanced healthcare technologies. A partnership between business, government, and science offers new opportunities to export medical services and attract patients to Russia from other countries, particularly from the CIS and the Middle East. By 2030, the medical services market is expected to double in terms of the number of patients and triple in terms of financial indicators, provided they are actively promoted. In addition to the popularization of preventive and rehabilitation medicine in Russia, there has been a steady increase in the number of innovative medical centres that provide patients with a wide range of services, including both planned and high-tech medical care, as well as health and spa services. An optimistic forecast predicts that the implementation of innovative projects in medical tourism will increase the market size by 170% in the coming years, which will bolster the position of Russian drugs on the international stage and facilitate the influx of patients from other countries. What specific areas of medical tourism will be most in demand among citizens of the CIS and the Middle East? What measures are needed to increase the flow of medical tourism to Russia? How are innovative healthcare projects influencing the development of medical tourism? What is the outlook for the development of health and spa tourism in Russia? What kind of appeal do the latest national innovative clinics have for patients from other countries?

Investments in innovation: who needs it, why is it so expensive and who will pay?
Innovation aims to transform the economy into an ecosystem in which entrepreneurship and investment are used to turn groundbreaking ideas and technologies into products, services, and processes that contribute to accelerated economic growth and the development of society. The world’s leading technology regions annually invest major resources into socially significant areas of scientific research and development that are marked by the high level of humanitarian responsibility of the state and the scientific community, as well as public expectations about the rapid introduction of innovations that improve people’s quality and duration of life. Despite the combined efforts of the parties that are interested in supporting innovations, only about 10–20% of startups in a sector such as biotechnology, for example, manage to attain a successful and sustainable commercial level, while the rest face various barriers to sales markets. What do modern innovations need to meet public expectations in terms of their availability and cost? Are all innovations original and which participants in the investment process will pay double? What kind of effective instruments for funding innovations can Russian and international experience offer?

Medicine for quality of life
Quality of life in healthcare refers to an attempt to maintain and improve a patient’s physical, emotional, and social well-being. It is a concept that extends beyond traditional treatments to evaluate the patient's condition by addressing their individual needs. The new Long and Active Life National Project is focused on improving longevity and quality of life, a popular topic nowadays and one particularly concerned with preventive measures. Systematic monitoring and physical evaluations make it possible to identify risks in a timely manner and adopt individual programmes of preventive healthcare. Modern medical technologies also make it possible to predict and prevent disease with personalized treatment to preserve quality of life to the greatest extent possible for those with health problems. This includes reducing the discomfort associated with long-term treatment and solutions that enable people with chronic diseases and health problems (including veterans of the Special Military Operation) to lead active lifestyles with greater mobility. What strategies and methods do government and commercial entities currently have to offer? How can we encourage people not suffering from chronic illness to get their regular check-ups? What modern medical and pharmaceutical technologies are there to maintain quality of life and how can they be made accessible to everyone? What measures are needed to improve the accessibility and effectiveness of patient recovery? How can we make sure people know about the kind of medical care compulsory medical insurance provides for improving quality of life?

The Future of Healthcare: From Start-up to Tech Trailblazer
To ensure technological superiority we must combine the efforts of universities, industrial enterprises, and start-ups and seize upon promising opportunities in medicine and biotechnology. Major corporations build their modern market strategies around technological independence and develop their own products instead of simply importing the solutions of others. Priorities include the creation of proprietary technology, integration with smaller technology companies, interdisciplinary training for personnel (biotechnology, neurointerfaces, artificial intelligence, etc.), localized production, and productive technological partnerships. The result is that companies must attract significant amounts of funding for development. A technology leader is a champion of technological cooperation and sustainable growth. What does it take to grow a competitive healthcare company in the global market? Where is market demand taking us in the next ten years? What goes into assembling a team capable of successfully leading a company from concept to upscaling? What is needed to effectively organize technological collaboration between scientists, entrepreneurs, and investors and build a sustainable medical business?

Healthy Nutrition: A Key Factor in People’s Health and Quality of Life
Nutrition is the foundation of human health and provides the body with all the energy, vitamins, and nutrients it needs. Observing the principles of a healthy lifestyle helps to keep weight down and prevent chronic non-communicable diseases. Thanks to the Russian government’s efforts, from 2019 to 2024, the share of healthy lifestyle proponents increased from 30% to 79% in the country, while the availability of micronutrient-rich products grew from 20–40% to 60%. Recommendations have been prepared for food ingredients that take into account the regional specifics of vitamin and mineral deficiencies. However, the scale of food sold in retail that adversely affects public health remains high. To overcome this problem, it is crucial to make an active lifestyle the norm for everyone and reduce the production and promotion of harmful products. We need to continue the information campaign of developing a culture of healthy eating and strengthen public trust in state food quality control mechanisms. What is the best way to help the public commit to a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition? How can we convince the population that natural foods and a healthy lifestyle are real and accessible to everyone? What are some of the barriers to the dissemination of healthy lifestyle principles and how can we overcome them?

Innovative Technologies in Comprehensive Rehabilitation
In the 21st century, society is striving to create a world with equal opportunities for everyone regardless of their health. The acceptance and support of people with disabilities is one of the top priorities. However, global experience shows that disabilities are often accompanied by a diminished quality of life. This is due not only to physical limitations, but psychological problems as well. As experts point out, global practice shows that people who have had to deal with disabilities can often develop depression and show signs of self-destructive behaviour, which has an adverse effect on interpersonal relationships and can lead to family breakdowns. As such, rehabilitation should be comprehensive and not only take into account medical aspects, including high-tech prosthetics, but resocialization as well. Effective recovery requires a combination of medical, psychological, social, and cultural rehabilitation, as well as adaptive physical education and sports. Career guidance with subsequent employment is also crucial. What other modern technologies, best practices, and experience will help ensure the fastest possible return to a full life for people who have been injured or wounded? What breakthrough technologies can be integrated into the modern healthcare system right now, and what can we expect in the near future? How should the healthcare system be transformed to make rehabilitation as effective as possible? How does involvement in adaptive physical culture and sports, including phygital sports, help people with disabilities get through the process of socialization and adaptation as quickly as possible?

Prioritizing Health: The Experience of Russian Business
Health is a universal value and a vital condition for the well-being and prosperity for both individuals and business as a whole. The rapidly accelerating pace of life forces most citizens of working age to devote most of their time to work. A top priority of modern employers is the physical and psychological well-being of employees, since the most important strategic resource of any company is its employees. CEOs can make a major contribution to maintaining and strengthening the health of the team in the workplace by motivating and inspiring subordinates using their own example and serving as an ambassador of the healthy lifestyle values and health preservation practices in place at the company. Investments in employee health are economically justified: they reduce staff turnover and health insurance costs, increase customer performance and loyalty, and strengthen the corporate image. To effectively prevent diseases and restore employee resources, it is essential to conduct regular medical examinations, improve medical awareness among staff, organize health trips, introduce digital health monitoring systems, create comfortable working conditions, and encourage people to play sports. The synergy of the actions taken by the government, employers, medical organizations, and staff will help make a healthy lifestyle attractive to more people, improve the atmosphere within the team, and ensure the sustainable development of the national economy. What kind of mechanism of interaction between the government, medical institutions, business, and employees is needed to maximize the effect from corporate programmes that aim to ensure a healthy lifestyle and prevent diseases? What practices for improving the health of workers have proven to be the most effective? What practical steps should employers take to create a culture of health and improve the quality of life of their employees?

Health with a Woman’s Face: The Power of Communities in the Social Sector
Women are conduits of health values. However, their role is not only to take responsibility for shaping healthy habits in families and society; they are one of the main pillars of the state policy for social change. Women find their purpose in improving people’s health and living standards, as well as building a healthy environment for them, and they direct their power precisely where the state needs the greatest support with resources. Thanks to the integrated efforts of women’s social initiatives, various agencies, and the government, the social sector is turning into a holistic ecosystem, where a seamless model of social and medical care is taking shape. The unification into communities of all women who are implementing their own social initiatives and projects makes each of them part of a single driving force in achieving the national goal of increasing the duration and quality of people’s lives. What specific areas of socially oriented assistance need public projects and initiatives the most today? How do local projects help to increase people’s overall satisfaction with social and medical care? What successful initiatives to shape healthy habits and a health-conscious environment in society in terms of nutrition, active lifestyle, and preventing risk factors are becoming a source of support for the government’s health preservation programmes? How can we build an effective model of interaction between the government and non-commercial organizations and promote the replication of best social practices in the country’s regions? What is the best way to unite women leaders and innovators of the social agenda and scale up the activities of women’s communities in the interests of a healthy society?

Cost-Effective Health Preservation: Modern Opportunities
Preserving and increasing the size of the population is one of Russia’s top national priorities. In the current demographic situation, it is imperative to enhance the efficiency of the healthcare system by altering the existing paradigm: instead of a curative healthcare model, a preventive approach should be introduced. Whereas the former involves a model of disease-centred medical care in which healthcare turns into a system of expensive medical services for limited segments of the population, the doctor is a seller, and the patient is a customer, in the latter case, the efforts of the healthcare system are primarily aimed at introducing the concept of a healthy lifestyle, eliminating risk factors, ensuring the early detection and timely treatment of diseases, and preventing complications. The principle of ‘medicina preventive’ is consistent with the model of Nikolay Semashko, in which the main value is not market interests, but the actual person. In recent decades, there has been explosive growth in preventive medicine with a huge focus on public health, i.e. the primary healthcare link, and impressive results have been achieved despite minimal resources. Integrating the methodological foundations of ‘Semashko’s medicine’ and modern prevention technologies is the key to preserving the health of the Russian people. What opportunities are being created by the practical introduction of preventive technologies at the individual and social levels? What preventive medicine technologies could significantly improve people’s quality and duration of life? What is the best way to integrate the concept of ‘Semashko’s medicine’ and modern prevention technologies as elements of an integrated healthcare system? What benefits can the medical business bring to public health?
