About this project
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif">The main objective of the project is to reduce social inequalities in health by providing remote access to health services through a personalised care system for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The system will include remote monitoring and telerehabilitation using methods based on Artificial Intelligence. The implementation of the project will enable to continue the treatment of patients after their return from hospital to their place of residence. It will be possible to start the treatment for patients from excluded groups. Moreover, PHC physicians and pulmonologists who admit patients on an outpatient basis will gain real opportunities to refer patients for remote rehabilitation without the need for hospitalisation.</span></span></p>
Bilateral cooperation results
The project fostered collaboration with a Norwegian partner to exchange knowledge and expertise in the field of telemedicine. Detailed reports were produced summarising findings, lessons learned and recommendations for future initiatives. Bilateral collaboration with the Norwegian partner facilitated knowledge transfer, adaptation of Norwegian solutions to the Polish context, and development of a telerehabilitation model potentially suitable for implementation in Norway, demonstrating the significant benefits of international cooperation in the field of telemedicine. The project also identified areas of further studies and provided input to National authorities for further potential scaling up of the telerehabilitation. Bilateral cooperation with the Norwegian partner was aimed at exchanging experiences and know-how in the field of telemedicine and telerehabilitation. The partner's representative showed the employees of the University of Southeast Norway the system and equipment (physically and remotely) and made annotations as to what could be changed. The Norwegian partner also helped in discussions with other Norwegian stakeholders and showed how similar systems work on site. Benefits from such cooperation could include, among others adaptation of Norwegian solutions to Polish conditions and increasing the innovativeness of the project.
