On May 23 this year, representatives of our Cluster, along with representatives from Spyrosoft Synergy, whitesky.cloud Poland and Consileon Polska took part—on the initiative of MED AI HUB—in a session of the Parliamentary Standing Subcommittee on Artificial Intelligence and Algorithm Transparency. The meeting, held in Szczecin, was organized by the Pomeranian Medical University. The session was also attended by the Undersecretary of State from the Ministry of Digital Affairs, representatives from the e-Health Center, the Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Tariff System, the Regional Center for Digital Medicine, and managers of local hospitals.
During the discussion on the potential of artificial intelligence (AI), our representatives emphasized that AI is no longer a train but a rocket. We must get on board if we want Polish medicine to develop at the highest level. Researchers from the Pomeranian Medical University and other research centers are already working on innovative, globally competitive AI-driven solutions in medicine—and this is just the beginning of an exciting journey.
To fully harness the opportunities offered by AI development, several key elements are needed, including:
- Access to clinical data is essential for training and developing modern AI-based tools and software to optimize and streamline processes to support medical personnel.
- Opening up Hospital Information Systems (HIS) – to allow integration with emerging tools and utilization of data processed in primary hospital systems.
- Secure hospital and central infrastructure – ensuring data security, sovereignty, and complete control by hospital and research institutions.
- Legal changes aligned with AI advancements – to guarantee safety, algorithm transparency, and clear accountability for implementing and using AI-based solutions.
The meeting in Szczecin demonstrated that Polish healthcare faces a unique opportunity for dynamic growth through artificial intelligence. To fully realize its potential, it will be essential not only to open access to data and integrate IT systems but also to ensure secure, sovereign infrastructure and adapt the legal framework. Joint efforts by the scientific, medical, technological, and public administration sectors could make Poland a leader in the digital transformation of healthcare.
