Abstract
Aim: To present the essentials of the pilot project for testing a telemedicine model in the field of chronic diseases, along with a snapshot of the health challenges. Materials and Methods: This review paper use the synthetic method summarizing the main objectives of the telemedicine project in the field of chronic diseases with a focus on COPD. The described project will have a pilot character and is aimed at clinical verification through the implementation of a new method and accompanying organizational and technological solutions (platform, devices) in an area where current models and schemes of therapeutic and diagnostic support were insufficient. The main (primary) outcome will be the leveling of social inequalities in health by reducing the residence and income factor in access to screening and medical services through the use of telemedicine. Conclusions: Implementation of telemedicine solutions creates an opportunity for patients diagnosed with COPD and their families by improving access to specialized medical care. With early detection of COPD exacerbation symptoms (deterioration of remotely monitored spirometric parameters), it will be possible to introduce appropriate preventive measures for these patients offsetting the adverse consequences.
