The new module of the medical decision support system (MDSS) analyzes the patient’s electronic medical record data for the last two years and offers a final diagnosis option. The model was developed as part of large-scale cooperation and combining the expertise of experienced engineers from the Government of Moscow and Sberbank and highly qualified doctors.
By the end of September, it is planned to introduce the new module in all adult clinics in the city.
