The Cyberludi project moves forward by blending business pragmatism, scientific insight, and government support to deliver modern prosthetics and rehabilitation solutions. The program emphasizes prostheses, medical devices and rehabilitation equipment that meet current standards. This approach was highlighted during a recent event led by Maria Vasilkova, the curator of the project, who outlined how the initiative aligns with national health technology goals. The aim is clear: faster access to advanced devices, stronger domestic manufacturing capabilities, and improvements in patient outcomes. [Source: Cyberludi Initiative]
A parliamentary briefing described the launch of an accelerator within the Siberdes framework, a program that unites manufacturers, researchers and public bodies to tackle the core challenges in prosthetics and rehabilitation. The effort seeks to streamline collaboration, speed up development cycles, and embed regulatory and safety considerations into every step. The focus is on turning laboratory discoveries into devices that enhance care for patients. [Source: Parliament Report on Siberdes Accelerator]
Vasilkova noted that the accelerator’s training tracks are designed for manufacturers across the prosthetics supply chain, including device designers, component suppliers, and equipment integrators. The curriculum covers design, testing, quality control, and regulatory pathways to bring new products to market. The program blends hands-on workshops with mentorship from experienced engineers and clinicians, giving participants practical knowledge they can apply immediately. [Source: Cyberludi Initiative]
Five modules are slated across a network of partner organizations, including the Technological Development Agency, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Motorika, Roscosmos, the Atomic Museum and other collaborators. Each module targets key phases of product development, from concept validation and materials testing to manufacturing scalability and export readiness. Participants will also explore ethical considerations, data security in medical devices, and lifecycle management. [Source: Official Briefs]
Upon completion, participants will gain access to a navigator—an advisory roadmap that helps identify state support options, research and development opportunities, and pathways to market. The most promising projects will receive targeted, individualized assistance to accelerate commercialization, including introductions to potential partners and investors. This integrated support aims to shorten the time from prototype to patient benefit. [Source: Siberdes Initiative]
Vasilkova highlighted that the accelerator’s distinctive edge lies in fostering new cooperative ties, including medical engineering groups that bridge academia, industry and clinical practice. Such collaborations can speed up knowledge transfer, reduce duplication of effort, and create an ecosystem where new devices move from concept to clinical use more rapidly.

Dr. Leonid Brigan, President of the Traumatology and Orthopedics Center and chief traumatologist at Burdenko Military Clinical Hospital, after observing the first training module, expressed readiness to partner with the Siberdes project. His involvement signals a high level of clinical confidence in the program’s approach and its potential to improve patient outcomes across military and civilian sectors. [Source: Siberdes Initiative]
The Cyberludi project has been active since 2022, evolving through multiple stages as partnerships expand and the accelerator framework matures. The accelerator is the result of a coordinated effort among the Cyberludi project, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, ANO “Technological Development Agency” (Veb.RF), the Habildan Foundation, and the Motorika Organization, reflecting a united push to advance medical device innovation.

The joint venture brings together government agencies, non-profit foundations and private companies to create a robust pathway for prosthetics and rehabilitation innovation. The synergy among the Cyberludi project, the ministry, the development agency, and partners like Habildan and Motorika demonstrates a scalable model for collaboration that strengthens the domestic supply chain, speeds the adoption of new technologies, and improves access to modern rehabilitation options.
