Laboratory for Analysis of Population Health Indicators and Digitalization of Healthcare

On September 23, the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology was visited by a delegation of the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), headed by the head of the service, Pavel Malkov. During the meeting, MIPT Rector Dmitry Livanov and Rosstat Head Pavel Malkov signed a cooperation agreement. Rosstat and MIPT are jointly planning to implement joint projects in the field of research, education and development of international contacts.

Under the agreement, faculty and students of Phystech will improve their qualifications and undergo retraining programs in the field of statistical accounting, will be able to attend lectures by representatives of the Federal State Statistics Service and the research institute of statistics of the department, and also participate in scientific and practical conferences and seminars on statistics and statistical education.

“Our cooperation can give very good results. Phystech traditionally develops areas in the field of mathematics, computer technology, artificial intelligence and everything related to big data - this is the strength of our students and MIPT laboratories,” said MIPT Rector Dmitry Livanov.

Also at the meeting, colleagues from Rosstat were presented with the work of MIPT laboratories. In particular, Stanislav Ostavnov, Head of the Laboratory for Population Health Indicators and Digitalization of Healthcare, made a presentation on the activities of his laboratory. One of the areas of work of researchers is the analysis of biomedical statistics and the digitalization of healthcare.

“It is nice that the Institute is developing and growing. Rosstat is also changing: as one of the largest digital factories in the country, we are moving into a new digital era, and it is impossible to imagine this transition without MIPT,” commented Pavel Malkov, head of Rosstat.

The project of Elena Rimskaya, an employee of our laboratory, was selected for presentation at the BRICS Forum
