 • New possibilities to tackle rare diseases
• Real-time monitoring
• Patients’ awareness and participation
• Deep diagnosis

• Data sharing (clear conditions for

Recognise • Patients’ driven medicine

• Personalization of medical treatment,

anonimization and pseudonymization)

• Interoperability (semantic level)

the services and therapies

• Significance of the new paradigm: potential • New model and the quality of life:
individual responsibility and co-
reaction → prevention from diseases responsibility (patient-doctor-families),
integrated care

Openess for using new technology
• Infrastructure: 5G, SuperComputers, EuroHPC

• Using AI and machine learning for support (data processing)

• The role of exchange of e-prescriptions at the EU level

• Genetic Research (current and future potential)

• Adherence model (how to assess medical services)

• Standardization and certification schemes (from devices to networks)

• Privacy, security and trust

Poland – challenges in healthcare
• What still needs to be improved?
• Coordination

• Partnerships and cooperation

• Common interoperability (current problems – future solutions) Source: Google Images

• Assessment of the legal basis for the e-health development and telemedicine platforms (better management –
wider choice of services)

• How to involve all digital changes and programmes into direction of the e-health development

• Operational/institutional organisation issues (new management and convenience for patients – no queues)

• Standardisation and certification schemes

• Strong participation in the European projects and identification

EU Challenges – 2019 ...
and 2027
• Citizens’ secure access to and
health data sharing across
borders
• Better data to advance
(accessibility and quality):
• Research
• Disease prevention
• Personalised health and care
• Digital tools for citizen

 4 ways 5G will transform healthcare for patients
• Improve access to care and the quality
of care by transmitting large imaging
files

• Expand telemedicine by supporting

real-time high-quality video

• Enhance reliable, real-time remote

monitoring

• Use the AI tools that help to determine

potential diagnosesand decide on the
best treatment plan for a specific Source: Google Images
