Abstract

In view of the demographic changes, the need for new telecare technologies is clearly growing. At the same time, in Polish law, there is still no provision allowing for the financing of the telemedicine and telecare services by the National Health Fund. The aim of this contribution is to survey the state-of-the-art telecare systems available on the Polish market and to discuss the main related problems. We also present results of interviews carried out in Social Welfare Centres. It turns out that the telecare system matching most of the identified key needs is not yet available on the Polish market.
