Description
The activities of All-Med Medical Centre include the provision of highly specialised services in cardiology, gynaecology, surgery and other areas of medicine. The project objective is to develop and implement comprehensive treatment services for vascular, cardiac and orthopaedic diseases provided with an extensive use of modern ICT technologies. Telemedicine solutions will be applied, including a system which allows remote preventive examinations and remote diagnosis, a telemedicine platform and e-diaries. People over 50 constitute the target group of the project, as cardiovascular and skeletal system disorders are most common in this age group. We focus on the treatment of the most common diseases, the frequency of which will increase due to the ageing of the population (in Łódź they occur more frequently than in other parts of Poland), and the spread of civilisation diseases, such as diabetes, obesity or osteoporosis which result in increased number of cardiovascular and orthopaedic complications.
All-Med plans to build a clinic, equip it and carry out development works to refine and optimise the provision of services. The new centre coordinating all stages of treatment (diagnostics, treatments, rehabilitation) will shorten the diagnostic and therapeutic process (faster, more accurate and more reliable diagnostics; shorter treatment times), provide safer and more comfortable treatment (constant contact with the doctor) and faster rehabilitation (thanks to telemedicine). We also anticipate shorter hospitalisation times and a reduced risk of complications due to modern, minimally invasive treatment techniques in the areas of angiology and orthopaedics.
Summary of project results
The project aimed to address several critical issues in the healthcare sector, particularly in the treatment of vascular, orthopedic, and cardiac disorders. Key challenges included improving the quality and accessibility of medical services, enhancing patient comfort and safety during treatment, and ensuring consistent patient access to medical facilities, regardless of geographical location. Furthermore, the project sought to overcome barriers related to patient attitudes toward remote consultations, which became more pronounced during the pandemic.
The project implemented comprehensive and innovative medical services across multiple specializations, especially focusing on angiology, orthopedics, and cardiology. Activities included the construction of a new clinic, procurement of advanced medical equipment, and development of a unique treatment ecosystem. The project introduced modern technologies from the first patient interaction via AI-supported chatbots and voicebots, extensively integrated teleconsultations, and established a patient-centered approach throughout the treatment process—from diagnostics to surgical treatment, rehabilitation, and secondary prevention.
The project achieved its intended goals by implementing a comprehensive patient approach in the entire treatment process. The primary beneficiaries are patients who previously had limited access to specialists due to disabilities or geographical barriers. The creation of a complete treatment and monitoring ecosystem allows doctors to analyze each patient individually. The project demonstrated that the concept of an "online clinic" is a forwardlooking innovation, and initial barriers, such as patient attitudes towards remote consultations, were largely overcome during the pandemic. These innovations are expected to soon become standard telecare practices on both a national and international level.
