About this project
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif">The main objective of the project is to test and use modern telemedicine tools in order to provide patients suffering from heart failure with the highest level of medical care, including in particular people residing in small towns with poor access to world-class specialists and modern equipment available at Upper Silesian Medical Centre, taking into account the epidemic situation and the resulting restrictions. The project will result in the improvement of access to health care services (telemedicine and e-health) through the implementation of 1 health care service provided with the help of the purchased modern equipment, i.e. telemonitoring of patients with heart failure.</span></span></p>
Bilateral cooperation results
As part of the cooperation with the Norwegian partner, in March 2023, three employees of the Beneficiary visited Oslo, where, among other things, they were guests of one of the largest hospitals in the capital of Norway and participated in numerous seminars on telemedicine services in Norway. In November 2023, a Norwegian delegation represented by employees of the Norwegian partner came to Poland. As part of the Norwegian delegation's stay, a seminar on telemedicine was also organized, and the delegates were shown the cardiology departments of the Beneficiary, and modern teaching techniques for medical students were presented at the Medical Teaching and Simulation Center of the Silesian Medical University in Katowice. The beneficiary assesses bilateral cooperation as extremely fruitful. The main conclusion is that the Norwegian side is significantly ahead of us in terms of telemedicine development, which is related to demographic characteristics of Norway. The significant funding flowing into the development of telemedicine in Norway is also not insignificant.
