Abstract
Telemedicine is most commonly associated with a “long-distance” surgery in macro
or micro dimensions. An example is a doctor operating on a patient who is in space or
on a submarine, while he himself is in a telemedicine center found thousands of
kilometers away [1]. The basis for telemedicine is the technological progress that we are
observing in the last decade. Therefore, there is a need for cooperation between doctors
and engineers in the fields of research, education and in offering medical services.
Interdisciplinary character of telemedicine requires cooperation especially between
medical and technical universities. The article presents already completed and just
started telemedicine projects in Poland as a result of cooperation between Medical
University of Gdansk and Gdansk University of Technology
