Description
The project is about the development of a new model of rehabilitation services, and an expansion of Accessmedica’s activities by services provided in a newly created centre in Lidzbark Warmiński (currently the company provides rehabilitation services in two other centres). We will build and equip a modern rehabilitation facility for people with orthopaedic, neurological, cardiac and pulmonological diseases (including those requiring oxygen therapy following COVID-19 infection), together with an outpatient clinic and a hotel for patients. The services will be innovative by their comprehensiveness - combining technical and organisational solutions with more effective diagnostics, therapy and safety. The natural treatment facility, together with the outpatient clinic, will be able to serve up to 400 patients per day on an outpatient or daily basis, relying on natural therapeutic resources such as peat, thermal waters, brines and CO2 gas for rehabilitation treatments. The following services will be offered: 1. rehabilitation medicine and general clinic; 2. rehabilitation and therapeutic services: balneotherapy, peloid therapy, hydrotherapy, thermotherapy, phototherapy, physical therapy, therapeutic massage.
The project costs will include: the construction of a rehabilitation centre, the purchase of equipment for rehabilitation and natural therapy, the purchase of an application for recording and reading diagnostics (ECG, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, falls) and development works to be carried out in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery of the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. The aim of the latter is to create a comprehensive programme of diagnostic and therapy of manual functions, walking functions to improve the independence of elderly people in everyday life.
Summary of project results
- Value for the Applicant - development of activities in the area in which there is demand, but there is a lack of an offer that meets the requirements of epidemic security in combination with a wide stationary range rehabilitation treatments for many diseases, innovative physical therapy and innovative services virtual rehabilitation, remote diagnosis and ECG monitoring
- Attracting more clients - patients, including abroad as part of health tourism and ensuring adequate conditions for their therapy
- Increase in employment in the high -rate area, with very good working conditions in modern center
- Improving the quality of services in the region, using modern technology, to expand the basket services in the region, introduction of innovative diagnostic and rehabilitation services, positive influence on the image of the region, attracting new residents and tourists
- Developing a unique model of providing a service with ensuring epidemic security
- Development of consciousness in the area regarding the use of modern technologies in the implementation of services and the region''s potential in combination with technology
- Improving the quality of life of the elderly, people with musculoskeletal disorders, neuroloigic and systemic problems.
- Development of medical tourism.
The project consisted of 4 comprehensive tasks:
Task 1 Construction of a natural treatment plant
Task 2 Purchase of equipment for rehabilitation and natural medicine
Task 3 Development and implementation works
Task 4 Software purchase
The implementation of the project was aimed at launching a new, innovative offer of modern rehabilitation services on the regional market as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation institution, taking into account epidemic security for group rehabilitation and treatment of elderly people and people with injuries, after accidents and operations. As part of the Lidzbark Health Center, a plant of natural healing resources and rehabilitation was established, which will serve up to 400 patients per day.
The goal was achieved by building a modern medical complex, purchase of equipment with specialized, medical and rehabilitation devices, technologies and development and implementation of new methods of providing diagnosis and therapy services, improving the quality of life of sick people, often older people over 60 years of age.
The innovation of the service will consist of the complexity and specificity of the tourist and medical offer in combination with ensuring epidemic security in a rehabilitation facility.
The added value for the Applicant is the implementation of research activities in cooperation with experts and obtaining new knowledge in the area of innovative methods of diagnostics and rehabilitation using modern technologies.
All assumed results were achieved in the following categories specified in the application.
1. The number of innovative technologies used in the enterprise - one of the innovative technologies is the purchase of a Luna EMG robot, which introduces active assist rehabilitation with EMG and Biofeedback stimulation.
2. Solution- at least 3 innovative solutions developed and implemented on the basis of cooperation with the research unit:
- Diagnostic tool (initial survey) directed by a medical and physiotherapeutic examination. This tool increases the quality of preliminary tests and eliminates potential errors in pre -examination and planning treatments.
- tool (graphic presentation - positive and negative assessment) of a quick assessment of contraindications of treatments - another degree of control and elimination of errors and complications.
- Post -operative diagnostic tool - assessment of the effectiveness of the implemented treatment plan.
- Patient support tool after leaving the center - a dedicated and individually developed set of exercises to educate and continue rehabilitation at home.
- The method of treating patients with musculoskeletal problems using virtual reality. Research method
3. Products - at least three new products (rehabilitation services) developed and implemented on the basis of cooperation with the research unit:
- Neurophysiological methods - Biofeedback Nintendo Virtual reality - CODE ICD -9 93.3810
- Supported exercises Robot Luna Lower Limbs and Foot- CODE ICD-9 93.1132
- Supported exercises Robot Luna Upper Limbs- CODE ICD-9 93.1132
4. Number of jobs created - in the period from the start of the project: 4 jobs: 1 man 31 years old, 1 man - 26 years old, 1 woman - 49 years old, 1 woman - 26 years old.
Finally the implementation of the project and achieving results will contribute to:
- developing activities in the area of innovative movement therapy and innovative rehabilitation services
- more customers and increasing sales, including abroad as part of health tourism and ensuring adequate conditions for their therapy
- an increase in employment in a high -rate unemployment area, with very good working conditions in a modern center
- improving the quality of services in the region and there will be a positive influence on the image of the region and attracting new residents and tourists
- Improving the quality of life of the elderly, people with musculoskeletal disorders, neuroloigic and systemic problems.
- development of the region''s medical tourism.
