Staff from the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine took part in the conference organized by the Korean Society for Management of Innovation and Economy (KOSIME) and the Institute for Public Research. The event addressed global priorities in research and development, innovation management, and the implementation of national strategies and science policy, issues relevant to scientists, practitioners, and policymakers. Experts from Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine presented their model for managing research teams, which places particular emphasis on the sociological aspects of personnel development.
“Today we are witnessing the emergence of a new work model in which it is important for specialists to understand expertise and assess the professional contribution of each participant in a research project. Transparency of research, access to adequate infrastructure for development and testing, independent validation, and recognition of results by the scientific community – all of this strengthens our position in the international scientific arena. Moreover, modern scientists interact not only with colleagues but also with digital agents. One of the key topics we discussed was hybrid technologies—approaches in which a person manages both people and digital assistants capable of performing analytical and routine tasks. This requires new competencies in work organization and improved management models. It was important for us to present our experience in organizing scientific activity to the international community and to discuss with colleagues how the role of the researcher is changing in the era of artificial intelligence and digital assistants,” said Olga Omelyanskaya, Chief Innovation Officer.
At the conference, the Center’s specialists delivered a report titled “Efficient Management of Scientific Institutions,” which described the institution’s research management system. The approach is founded on digitalization of processes, enabling coordination of large teams, ensuring transparency of scientific activity, and creating a fair environment for researchers’ career advancement. This model fosters trust in scientists and their results, and accelerates the implementation of promising scientific ideas. The presented experience attracted attention as an example of the successful application of digital technologies to research and development management.
“Today the scientific community faces a common task: creating reliable and secure tools that will help specialists handle ever-growing volumes of information. Artificial intelligence and digital assistants should not replace experts but rather enhance their capabilities, freeing time for complex decision-making and creative work. During the meetings, we became convinced that our international colleagues share this approach, which provides a strong foundation for joint research and the exchange of experience,” said Lev Pestrenin, Deputy Head of the Scientific Department of Medical Informatics, Radiomics, and Radiogenomics.
As part of the program, Center representatives visited scientific organizations specializing in data analysis and development of digital solutions. Following these meetings, preliminary agreements were reached to hold joint working sessions on management of digital technology R&D, to develop scientific cooperation, and to prepare publications on modern approaches to organizing research activities. The parties also expressed interest in collaborative research.
The Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine of the Moscow Healthcare Department is a leading scientific and practical organization within the Moscow City Hall’s Social Development Complex, established in 1996. The Center specializes in implementing artificial intelligence technologies in medicine, developing radiation diagnostics, organizing departments within medical institutions, conducting scientific research, and training medical professionals.
