Cel pracy Ocena znajomości praw pacjenta wśród przedstawicieli zawodów medycznych w Polsce. Materiał i metody Przeanalizowano 3 źródła danych. Dokonano analizy materiałów własnych Rzecznika Prawa Pacjenta (RPP), wykorzystano metodę komparatystyczną. Przeprowadzono metaanalizę artykułów krajowych zagranicznych. analizę programów nauczania akademickiego (kierunków lekarskich), gdzie posiłkowano się metoda porównawczą. Wyniki Dane uzyskano efekcie danych RPP ukazują zagadnienie z perspektywy zgłoszeń, jakie docierają do RPP. Istnieje korelacją między przestrzeganiem a jakością opieki medycznej. Metaanaliza nie możne być uznana za kompletną ze względu na niedostateczną liczbę Analizę należy uznać pracę wstępną szeroko zakrojonych badań edukacji akademickiej pod kątem pacjenta. Wnioski Świadomość wzrasta. Wciąż jednak prawa są dostatecznie rozpropagowane medycznych. Zauważono rozdźwięk przekonaniem personelu, co ich wiedzy temat pacjenta, faktycznym realizowaniem tych praw. Znamienne, że szpitalach źródłem dla pacjentów o prawach najczęściej pielęgniarki lekarze. Zwraca także uwagę korzystanie przez dydaktyków oraz badaczy nieaktualnych źródeł sytuacji, kiedy od 2009 r. obowiązuje przedmiotowa ustawa.

Sensors are versatile technologies that provide rapid and efficient diagnostic results, making them invaluable tools in public health for measuring monitoring community exposure to environmental contaminants. Heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, commonly found food water, can accumulate the body have toxic effects, contributing development of conditions like obesity diabetes. Traditional methods detecting these often require invasive blood samples; however, sensors utilize saliva, offering a noninvasive simplified approach screening. The use saliva fluid represents major advance population due its low cost, noninvasiveness, ease collection. Recent advances sensor technology enabled tests link heavy metal levels with risk developing Optimizing could facilitate identification individuals or groups at risk, enabling targeted, personalized preventive measures. hold promise diagnosing preventing metabolic diseases, providing valuable insights into between health.

BACKGROUND A digital twin (DT) can be understood as a representation of real asset, in other words, virtual replica physical object, process or even system. Virtual models, integrate with all the latest technologies, such Internet Things (IoT), cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI). Digital twins have applications various sectors, ranging from manufacturing engineering to healthcare. They been used managing healthcare facilities, streamlining care processes, personalizing treatments, enhancing patient recovery. By analysing data sensors sources, professionals develop models patients, organs, human systems, experimenting strategies identify most effective approach. This approach lead more targeted efficient therapies while reducing risk collateral effects . technology also generate hospital review operational strategies, capabilities, personnel, areas for improvement, predict future challenges, optimize organizational strategies. The potential impact this tool on our society its well-being is quite significant. OBJECTIVE objective article present general overview use METHODS With aim investigating health, quick literature was conducted topic question using following mesh terms: “digital twins”, health”, “health care”. Another filter applied search strategy publications within time range up 5 years (2018 2023). six academic databases: IEEE Xplore, Dimensions, Scopus, Web Science, PubMed ACM. After applying strings exclusion criteria, total 58 were identified. criteria described applied, resulting 13 listed constitute support discussion article. RESULTS selected studies categorized according application health sector into 2 groups: clinical group, 7 records, 6 records. In five articles focused theme personalized care/precision medicine, one related reproduction biological structures ethics issues DTs we subgroup, that discuss supporting optimization processes another subgroup relies construction hospital. CONCLUSIONS twins, healthcare, presents important challenges integration, privacy interoperability. However, trends indicate exciting treatment, prevention, remote monitoring, informed decision-making, management, which result significant improvements quality efficiency work could, some way, contribute expanding discussions topic, opening space new reflections.
