Patient robots and the medicine of the future with BIG SKOLKOVO TOUR

Excursions around the International Medical Cluster at the Skolkovo IC are a new word both in medicine and in tourism. Such tours will be of interest not only to medical students and practicing doctors, but also to ordinary people.

Today, a medical technopark is being organized in Skolkovo and representations of the world's leading clinics are being created, where patients will be able to receive medical care at the highest level. The scientific achievements of the last decades in the field of regenerative and cellular technologies, the development of telemedicine, bioinformatics, Big Data biophotonics will radically change our daily life in the near future. It is from Skolkovo that advanced medical technologies will be introduced into Russian clinics.

For physicians, study and work in the Skolkovo International Medical Cluster is an opportunity to gain modern knowledge and invaluable professional skills. For people not related to medicine, the International Medical Cluster makes world-class medical services available, and gives schoolchildren the opportunity to choose a profession.

“As part of an excursion around the medical cluster, guests will be able to take part in a master class on providing first aid to robotic patients,” says the head of the company, Svetlana Shubina.

The fact is that in the Skolkovo medical cluster there is a training center with robotic patients who react to the surgeon's actions like living people. The conditions are as close as possible to the real situation in the operating room. It is on robotic patients that doctors train to perform operations, hone skills and master new techniques: they prepare a robotic patient for anesthesia, perform surgical interventions and resuscitation measures. Robotic "patients" can speak, react to pain and even "faint"!

Excursions to the medical cluster are a new, but not the only direction in the work of BIG SKOLKOVO TOUR. For several years the company has been a reliable guide to the Skolkovo territory and offers excursions to all the most significant and interesting sites. Experienced guides, who are rigorously selected, guarantee a deep immersion in the topic.

In addition, Big Skolkovo Tour is an authorized partner of the Innovation Center and the only company accredited to conduct excursions around the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo. Who will be interested in excursions around the Moscow School of Management? Everyone, since this is a unique phenomenon for Russia. The spirit of entrepreneurship reigns here, because the Skolkovo Business School is the center of the Russian business community.

This is a rare example for Russia when a private business school was able to offer fundamentally new educational strategies and gain international recognition.

From old Moscow to the city of the future

Svetlana Shubina, the founder of BIG SKOLKOVO TOUR, spoke about the way the company had to go. Svetlana is a professional guide-translator. For ten years she worked in Moscow, took foreign tourists to the Kremlin, the Armory Chamber, the Tretyakov Gallery, created author's excursions about old Russian and Soviet architecture. But having moved from the old part of the capital to the futuristic Skolkovo, Svetlana was inspired to a new project.

“In an atmosphere of entrepreneurship, the Bolshoi Skolkovo excursion project quickly matured and was born,” says Svetlana Shubina. - I registered the routes and started taking excursions to Skolkovo. Sometimes the guests are so surprised by what they see that they ask: "Is this a staging?" But no, everything is real here.

Skolkovo is a one-of-a-kind example of partnership between a private business school and a state-owned Innovation Center. The unifying factor, in a sense, was the excursion project BIG SKOLKOVO TOUR, which includes all routes around Bolshoi Skolkovo. This is the Innovation Center, Technopark, excursions around the Business School and much more!

One of the company's popular projects is excursions to Skolkovo for schoolchildren. Young tourists are always delighted with the inventions of Skolkovo startups and the modern architecture of Skolkovo. A unique atmosphere saturated with the spirit of creativity and inventions, colorful art objects - all this is liked not only by children, but also by adults, seasoned tourists.

Ecotourism in the city: green building and energy-zero buildings

They say that Skolkovo is not a territory, but an ideology. Many call it a place of power for innovation. And this is a very accurate metaphor, because here scientific achievements are introduced into practice, inventions become a market product.

Last year, the Skolkovo Innovation Center celebrated its first anniversary - 10 years. In 2021, the 15th anniversary will be celebrated by the Business School. How many striking projects have been implemented over the years!

Today Skolkovo clearly shows what a progressive city of the future can be like, what Russian cities can be like in the future.

- In the near future, we plan to develop one more direction - “Ecotourism in the city”. Skolkovo has a story to tell about green construction and energy-efficient technologies, about zero-energy buildings that produce electricity for themselves, and dizzying architecture, - Svetlana Shubina shares her plans. - In addition, there is an idea to create a separate tour of the Skoltech Institute. Today it is recognized as one of the best technical universities in Russia, and the building in which the institute is located received the status of the most beautiful university in the world in 2019.
