Medical students will soon be able to test innovative solutions from Skolkovo resident companies. Recently, an agreement on cooperation between the Foundation and the Volga Research University (PIMU) was signed. At the first stage, students will get acquainted with the Habilect complex of the Skolkovo resident company of the same name. The technology will be used as a standard system for diagnostics and physical rehabilitation. Project details are under the cut.

Cooperation between Skolkovo and universities, of course, provides for acquaintance with a much larger number of projects. In addition to the one already mentioned above, there is another one, it is being implemented by the Sensomed company, a resident of Skolkovo. A new version of the smart glove software will be developed. The technology will allow patients to undergo rehabilitation, developing fine motor skills not only of the entire hand, but also of each finger. Also, in the process of clinical trials, specialists will study the effectiveness of the new complex.

Natalya Polushkina, Executive Director for Operations of the Biomedical Technology Cluster: “As a result of this cooperation, already in 2022, a number of startups of the Fund will be able to start pilot implementation and undergo a comprehensive approbation of their solutions at PIMU. Our members will conduct collaborative clinical trials and receive feedback from practitioners and patients to improve innovative products and technologies. In turn, students, faculty and medical staff of PIMU will have the opportunity to use innovative solutions developed by Skolkovo residents in their training and daily practice.”

PIMU is included in the TOP-50 of all universities in Russia and the TOP-5 universities of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, is a participant in the National projects "Education", "Health", "Science", "Digital Economy" and "Demography".
