More than half of Poles would consider a consultation supported by artificial intelligence, and Polish companies have technologies that could speed up diagnostics. Hospitals' lack of funds for implementation remains an obstacle.

Dissatisfaction with the system
Only 38 percent. Long queues to specialists remain the most troublesome problem for patients. Hospitals and clinics are looking for ways to admit more people without increasing the number of staff.
Patients open to AI
More than half of respondents would agree to a consultation supported by artificial intelligence (Polacy mają dość kolejek do lekarzy. AI i start-upy ruszają na ratunek – Rzeczpospolita).
Technologies from Polish companies
Polish start-ups have developed solutions that could speed up diagnostics and relieve hospitals. These include, among others, tools supporting the analysis of test results and directing patients to appropriate treatment pathways. Their advantage is faster data processing than in the traditional mode.
Money is the barrier
The biggest brake remains finances. Facilities often do not have the funds to implement new technologies, even when they recognize their potential. Without financial support, both from the hospitals themselves and from the system, innovations may remain in the testing phase.
What it means for patients
If the solutions described by start-ups are implemented, they may shorten waiting times for diagnostics. For now, much depends on whether facilities find the funds to purchase and implement them.
