Moscow is expanding the use of its medical technologies and practices in other regions of Russia. One of the largest projects of such cooperation was the introduction of the unified medical information and analytical system (EMIAS) in Saint Petersburg.
September 16 Sergey Sobyanin and the Governor of Saint Petersburg Alexander Beglov signed agreement On the procedure for implementing EMIAS in outpatient institutions of the Northern capital. Previously, the Moscow system was implemented only in hospitals, but now an additional 197 city polyclinics in Saint Petersburg will be connected to it. The work is planned to be completed by the end of 2028. In addition, according to the signed supplementary agreement, Moscow will provide indefinite technical support for EMIAS during the operation of the system in Saint Petersburg hospitals. A special team of metropolitan experts has been formed for its implementation in hospitals, and 16,000 medical staff members of Saint Petersburg have already been trained to work with it.
The implementation of EMIAS is part of Moscow’s broader efforts to spread medical technologies, organizational solutions, and expertise to other regions of Russia. One of the most extensive examples is the digital platform “MosMedAI,” created to use artificial intelligence (AI) services in the analysis of radiological studies. Today, it is used by 2,500 medical organizations from 75 regions of the country and several federal medical centers. Using the platform, specialists have processed over 18 million studies across Russia, and medical organizations have access to 18 AI services for analyzing CT scans, X-rays, fluorograms, and mammograms. The connection of regions to the platform is provided free of charge.
The city shares not only digital solutions but also experience in organizing medical care with other regions. Since 2025, other regions have had access to capital projects for creating endoscopic flow centers as well as women’s and mental health centers — including organizational models of their operation. Moscow specialists help analyze healthcare systems and develop their development programs. Annually, the capital Department of Health publishes more than 30 methodological guidelines, and over 1,500 doctors from across the country undergo internships in medical organizations and scientific centers. The department’s personnel center has already hosted specialists and management teams from more than 30 entities of the Russian Federation.
Cooperation with Saint Petersburg continues this work at the level of the entire regional healthcare system. Specifically for the residents of the city, Moscow has developed the application “EMIAS. Petersburg” — an analogue of the capital’s mobile service “EMIAS. INFO.” With its help, residents of Petersburg will be able to make appointments with doctors or by referral, reschedule or cancel appointments, as well as access their electronic medical record (EMR) — test results, conclusions, extracts, and other medical documents.
At the core of the solution is a system that today unites the digital processes of Moscow’s healthcare. EMIAS connects more than 120,000 medical workers of the capital’s hospitals, clinics, and emergency services within a single digital circuit. One of the key elements of the system is the EMR: it stores over five billion digital records, with about 1.5 million new ones created daily.
Digital services operate on the EMIAS platform, helping patients and doctors at various stages of care delivery. Among them are remote appointment booking, electronic medical records, an AI service for preparing summaries from a patient’s electronic medical card based on complaints provided when booking a doctor’s appointment, a clinical decision support system, a telemedicine service for conducting remote consultations, and other tools.
The digital circuit also covers inpatient care. The “Digital Clinic” project, implemented in all multidisciplinary city hospitals, allows for the automation of processes—from patient admission to discharge, and the elimination of paper documents has increased the speed of paperwork by 30 percent. The data accumulated in the service is also used to analyze the operation of inpatient facilities and manage medical care.
In addition, the “Digital Intensive Care” service has been implemented in Moscow hospitals, which ensures the collection and storage of patient condition indicators in digital format and simplifies the work of intensive care units. For the relatives of patients, an SMS notification service about the condition of the person in intensive care is provided.
Cooperation between Moscow and Saint Petersburg involves not just the transfer of a specific software product, but the gradual creation of a unified digital framework in which tools already tested in Moscow’s healthcare system for patients, doctors, and medical organizations can be used. The experience of “MosMedII” and other interregional projects demonstrates another aspect of this work: medical technologies developed and tested in Moscow become accessible to specialists and patients in various regions of the country.
