From Patient to Nurse Innovator: Polina Aseeva’s Journey
Polina Vladimirovna Aseeva, a resident physician specializing in obstetrics and gynecology and a nominated candidate for the Savitsky Award, recently spoke with Forbes HealthTech about her unique path in medicine and her pioneering project, the “Mobile School of Health.” Her experience as a former patient at the Dmitry Rogachev Center, where she was treated for aplastic anemia and underwent a bone marrow transplant, deeply informs her work today.
Motivation Behind the Mobile School of Health
“The Mobile School was born from the challenges families face when transitioning from hospital to home care for seriously ill children.” — Polina AseevaAseeva highlights that the Mobile School was designed to close a critical gap in support. Unlike other initiatives, it combines educational modules, hands-on workshops, home nursing visits, legal counsel, and psychological support into one integrated ecosystem.
Digital Tools and AI Integration
At the core of the project is a mobile application with care guides, video tutorials, emergency instructions, and reminders. Aseeva envisions expanding it via the HippocrAI platform to include personalized learning, predictive risk analysis, and timely alerts.
“AI can empower families by giving them the right knowledge at the right moment.”
Impact and Future Prospects
Preliminary results show reduced hospital readmissions and improved adherence to treatment. Families report feeling more supported and confident. The next step: international scaling of the Mobile School of Health, tailored to local healthcare systems and cultures.
Perspectives on Nursing and Healthcare Reform
Aseeva notes the contrast between Russia’s physician-centered model and Western nursing autonomy. She advocates for more investment in preventive education worldwide, emphasizing the role of nurses as connectors between technology, doctors, and families.
