eHealth
and eInclusion
May 2006
Foreword
The new century brings new challenges and new opportunities, especially in the area of research and innovation.
The development of Information Society Technologies helps the European Union to meet them.
The applications of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) across the whole range of functions that
affect the health sector, from the doctor to the hospital manager, via nurses, data processing specialists, social
security administrators and the patients.
These activities are called eHealth and they offer European citizens important opportunities for improved access to
better health systems. It can empower both patients and healthcare professionals. It offers governments and tax payers
a means - through substantial productivity gains - to cope with increasing demand on healthcare services. It can also
help to reshape the future of health care delivery, making it more citizen-centred.
The eHelath is nearly related to the eInclusion, that aims to prevent risks of ‘digital exclusion’, that is to ensure that
disadvantaged people are not left behind and to avoid new forms of exclusion due to lack of digital literacy or of
Internet access. At the same time e-inclusion means also tapping new ‘digital opportunities’ to include the socially
disadvantaged people and less-favoured areas.
Polish organizations are interested in contributing to research and study in both areas. Therefore it is a great
pleasure to present you with this publication containing profiles on Polish researchers and organizations
interested and already active in eHealth & eInclusion.
We hope that the presented information will enable you to find the most appropriate partners from Poland for
future cooperation in European R&D projects.

CNK KARDIOFON Monitoring System - a 24 hour cardiac supervision with a remote, phone based EKG.
System benefits:
• 24/7 (24 hours per day, 7 days per week) easy phone access to cardiology consulting as well as to the patients
medical records;
• Diagnosing of cardiac incidents missed with conventional diagnosis;
• Guarantee of quick access to a doctor known to the patient;
• Savings due to quick and precise diagnosing of emergency cases;
• Savings due to elimination of unnecessary ambulance calls and procedures.
The Monitoring System operates on a 24/7 basis with all patients’ medical records and EKG recordings stored in
a central server. A cardiologist on duty reviews newly arrived patients information on line. Every patient receives
a small EKG recording unit with a stationary or cellular phone connection. Operation of the EKG recording unit is
simple: attaching of the electrodes and dialing a CNK KARDIOFON phone number.
Telemedical projects, mainly focused on cardiology, but other areas also possible.
KARDIOFON actively conducts cardiology research in co-operation with the following agencies and
departments: Department of Cardiology of Warsaw Emergency Services, and Independent Laboratory of Clinical
Bioenergineering, Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering at the Polish Academy of Science. The
results of theses research has been published in Polish medical magazines: THE KARDIOLOGIA POLSKA as well as
in THE FOLIA CARDIOLOGICA.
In 2001, the research results were presented to the scientific community during a cardiology congress EUROPACE
2001 in Copenhagen, Denmark and a similar conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
In 2002 research results were presented in Warsaw at the conference conducted by Wroclaw Medical University
on two topics:
The utility of Tele-ECG methods in medical practice.
The initial evaluation of patient’s expectations and the degree of their satisfaction from the Tele-ECG services.
11
In December 2002 KARDIOFON has started a new activity: Call Centre services for international clinical trials. From
December 2002 till January 2004 Kardiofon’s Call Centre took part in a clinical trial of an antyarythmic drug, in its
last phase before the registration by US FDA. 15 polish medical centres took part in this trial. KARDIOFON role was
to conduct teleconferences: heart patient with his recorded ECG-Kardiofon-US medical centre. KARDIOFON was
responsible for filing patients’ documentation. The sponsor of the trial called for an audit, which was performed
by a Swiss auditor. The auditor protocol considered Kardiofon as a trustful partner ready for international
cooperation - this opinion is a pleasure for us to be shared with you all.

Implementation of the START system in the Silesian District.
Over the years 1999 – 2001 ComputerLand managed to implement the service record system in the Silesian
District, involving around 4000 medical services renderers into it.
The present administrator of the medical services regional base is the regional health insurance institution
(Silesian Regional Sick Fund) which gathers information referring to the services provided on its area. For instance
25,7 million provided services were registered in the central base in 2001. In the Silesian District the Insured of
the Silesian Regional Sick Fund and the medical personnel are equipped with electronic cards which are used to
authorise the services. In 2001 around 5 million cards, enabling patients to authorise the services, were produced
and fit with personal data of the insured.
Patient’s card contains the following information: patient’s identification data (patient’s record data, information
on appropriate financing institution), technical data (inner card identification numbers, meters etc.), and
alternatively medical and/or rescue data such as blood group, allergies.
Ventures undertaken while implementation of the RUM System in Silesia:
• Activation of the electronic authorisation documents personalisation centre;
• Design and implementation of the electronic documents update and distribution procedure, with reference to
the whole population encompassed in the implementation works;
• Activation of around 4000 installations of specialised software used to register the services on the local level;
• Activation of the central base receiving the data;
• Design and activation of the communication structure enabling to exchange data between the system levels;
• Design and implementation of the procedures enabling to obtain from the pharmacies, the data referring to
the reimbursed prescriptions (around 1000 pharmacies were included into the system);
• Design and implementation on the central level, of the software supporting the accounts verification;
• Design and implementation of the report functions (on both levels);
• Design and implementation of the modification procedure and automatic distribution procedures of the
software updates, for the entities on the local level.
The implementation of the system in Silesia confirmed the efficiency of the system and its usefulness as far as
management of the regional healthcare policy is concerned. It also appeared useful in economy – for instance
the system made it possible to reduce the growth of the drugs reimbursement costs and the cost of basic
healthcare.

professional functions in the information society;
• Dissemination of a continuous education with the utilization of modern solutions e.g. eLearning;
• Propagation of knowledge about eAdministration;
• Extension of informatics culture in society.
THE AREA OF INTEREST AND EXPERIENCE IN eHealth and eInclusion
Organising a few conferences and seminars about eInclusion. Carrying out various research and publishing its
results.
Main project: A MODEL CONCEPTION OF THE EMPLOEES’ COMPUTER AWARENESS AND ITS ROLE IN THE PROCESS
OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS.
The unending technological revolution along with resulting from it the necessity of forming a computer
society determine the managerial decisions in the domain of the wider use of data communications in the
administration. It results in the increasing number of implementations, although the scientific research on
computer awareness among the employees of Polish companies proves that it is still unsatisfactory. Therefore,
it is strongly recommended that any IT implementing project for a particular enterprise should be preceded
with a research on the level of employees’ computer culture in the enterprise, including computer literacy and
computer awareness of its employees. The results of the research can serve as basis for deep analysis of the
company’s computer potential and enable for the efficient planning of further steps in terms of both future
investments (i.e. implementation of various computer systems) and connected with it the staff training, as well as
to help with minimalization of some negative phenomena, usually accompanying such processes.

The main fields of the Institute’s research work are design and ergonomics. The studies are of applied nature, and
their subject matter is inspired with the needs of the Small and Medium sized Enterprises. The tasks performed
concern the product-user system. We carry out comprehensive scientific and research work for the development
of new products, including those for the disabled, the elderly, children and the young.
We specialize in ergonomic anthropometry, thus we develop somatic characteristics of the Polish population,
including elderly people, the disabled, children and the young. We also conduct biomechanical studies dealing
with the correlation between products/workstands parameters and the loading of different groups of muscles,
as well as psycho-social studies of the users’ needs and preferences. The results of the investigations constitute
the basis for the development of ergonomic data used in design, the application of which leads to the functional
and aesthetic final product. Ergonomic features determine, among others, its innovativeness, quality and market
competitiveness.
We develop sets of methods for the designing and ergonomic assessment of products, i.e. school and office
furniture and clothing (working, protective and special) for various professional groups. These issues have been
undertaken both in foreign (school and office furniture, the 5th and 6th Framework Programmes of EU-CRAFT) as
well as in national projects.
Based upon the results of anthropometric, biomechanic and applied studies the design solutions of innovatory
ergonomic chairs and tables for children and the young aged 6–19 that prevent the spine pathologies have
been developed. The results of the investigation of the needs and preferences of the users along with their
anthropometric measurements have been used for the the development and implementation of the collection
of clothing for elderly men and disabled young people using the wheelchair. The clothing is characterized
by a special form and structure solutions concealing the figure’s deformities; the fabrics with appropriate
hygroscopic and antiallergic parameters secure the hygienic and physiological comfort. On the basis of in-home
research work and the EU standards special protective and cautionary clothing of intensive visibility for the firstaid services has been designed.

The University Hospital in Cracow is one of the biggest hospitals in Poland, with over 200 years of history of
operation. The Hospital consists of 31 Departments and 60 Out-patient Clinics covering practically all medical
specialties.
There are above 55 000 hospital’s admissions every year and about 380 000 medical consultations at different
Departments. The Hospital serves as a referral centre for population of about 6 million from Southeast part of
Poland. Number of hospital’s employees is equal to 3 700 persons. The Hospital staff is involved not only into
regular medical activities, but also into research, education and different medical projects. An international
cooperation plays an important role in the Hospital’s strategy of development.
The University Hospital is considered as an institution, which effectively utilizes modern medical technologies
and is well equipped with modern, sophisticated medical equipment for diagnosis - such as 3 CT’s, MRI, Gamma
Camera, CathLab’s - and treatment. Also IT technologies play an important role at the Hospital’s operation.
Additionally, the Hospital’s staff is developing different IT projects - including telemedicine - that would make
the medical and administrative data flow and data processing easier.
Individual medicine distribution system.
After admission to the hospital a patient is diagnosed and ordered a dose and frequency of medication. The
prescription is passed on to Hospital Pharmaceutics (electronically – it is advisable that the registration takes place
at the hospital department and the reading at pharmacy (the system integrated with hospital informative system
(ADT). The prescriptions are gathered and medicines to be issued on that particular day identified. Disposable
doses of medicine are issued to the Department and administered to particular patient.
Regional telemedical network.
High-specialistic medical consultations are provided by University Hospital specialists basing on hospital
networks and telecommunication links. The areas of telemedical consulting include such activities as angiography,
coronarography, early diagnosing of heart muscle acute anoxia, diagnostic CT imaging traumatized neurological
patients, classic radiotherapy imaging.
Laboratory and image diagnostics departments computerization.
Diagnostics Department computerization consists in electronic transmission of all laboratory examination orders
with the data concerning the patient included in hospital information system (especially in InfoMedica module).
A sample follows the order. Its results are inserted in the system and the physician that ordered the examination
has access to it immediately after the examination is made and accepted.
Image diagnostics computerization consists of adapting currently used classic x-ray units and introducing
computed radiography.

The Institute main research areas are as follows:
• Studies of news materials including shape memory alloys, nanomaterials, amorphous materials, intermetallic
phases, quasicrystals and composites;
• Studies of phase transformations and real structure and properties of metals, ceramics and polymers;
• Studies of some electrochemical processes, including search of new materials for electrodes and studies
phenomena connected with interaction of hydrogen with metals and alloys;
• Development and improvement of methods for material studies, especially high-resolution electron
microscopy, convergent beam diffraction and X-ray structural analysis with the use of the Le Bail – Rietveld
method.
Special interest is paid to the shape memory alloys. The studies concentrate on three groups of alloys:
•
•
•
•
NiTi and NiTiCo alloys for medical implants;
CuAlNbX (X = Ni, Co, Cr) for high temperature (200˚C) applications;
Melt spun ribbons of the CuAlNi and NiTiCu alloys;
Ferromagnetic NiMnGa and NiMnSn alloys at which the reversibla martensitic transformation and shape
changes are caused by the magnetic field.
The studies are concentrated on the course of the martensitic transformation and the crystal structure of the
martensite and the R-phase in the NiTi alloys as well as on the influence of the ageing process on the structure
changes and course of the transformation.
For the CuAlNb alloys the HREM studies are carried out on the interaction of primary precipitates with the
martensite plates and their influence on the reversible martensitic transformation and shape recovery effect.
The studies of the ferromagnetic alloys concentrate mainly on the parent structure, its degree of order and effect
of the electron density on the temperatures of the magnetic and martensitic transformations. Moreover, as the
NiMnGa and NiMnSn alloys show significant ductility, the studies are carried out in order to improve the alloys’
plasticity.
The area of our interest embrace development of nickel-titanium implants with shape memory effect for bone
fracture healing, particularly for maxillofacial surgery. Further field encompass distractors with superelastic
54
springs for bone elongation and craniofacial correction.
The superelastic properties of NiTi alloys is also exploitated too constract tools for small – invasive surgery.
Our interest encompass also the studies of improving the biocompatibility of nitinol.
The collaboration with the Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery of the Silesian Academy of Medicine enabled the clinical
application of NiTi clamps for mandibular fracture healing.
The collaboration with the Hospital Plastic Surgery Surgery in Polanica enabled the clinical application of
superelastic springs for cranial correction in children.

The Unit plays role of molecular centre of advanced technologies in Wroclaw Medical University.
Fields of interest: Forensic genetics, clinical genetics, pharmacogenetics, clinical diagnosis, seroanthropology.
Special skills: Very good orientation in molecular techniques. Great experience in forensic genetics. Pioneer of
DNA based paternity testing in Polish forensic medicine. Participant of numerous Polish scientific grants. Good
knowledge of advanced techniques (microarray and Real-Time PCR).
The main aim of the Institution is the creation of a new system of human identification, which will overcome all
limitations and also will provide new and significant opportunities for automation in typing technologies not
available for microsatellites.
We work on overcoming this problem by developing a new DNA identification system based on single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs).
The choice of the new type of polymorphism overcomes not only the problem of degraded DNA analysis but
also the legal problems and controversies with using “coding” or “non coding” parts of human genome for
forensic identification. Finally, genetic data from relevant human population samples as well as ancient DNA
samples will be generated. The proposed system will be useful for a wide range of routine forensic, historical
and anthropological purposes, because DNA isolated from exhumed human bones is almost always highly
degraded.
Our Institution has no experience in eHealth, but we work on it all the time.
Our Institution sent the proposal to 6th Framework Programmme, but without success.
