Health Data Scientist Yuri Rykov on Early Diabetes Diagnostics and AI in Medicine
In 2024, over 5.5 million cases of diabetes were registered in Russia, the majority of which (5.1 million) were type 2 diabetes. This is a tricky disease: for a long time, it can be almost asymptomatic, with many patients failing to notice that anything's amiss. Complications and even disability can be avoided with early diagnostics.

We spoke with Dr. Rykov about his project and the future of AI in medicine.
