Will we be treated by a live doctor or AI? VZP plans a revolution, wants to open the doors to the medicine of the future

The General Health Insurance Company aims to expedite the introduction of new medical technologies by providing temporary reimbursements for certain devices before they undergo standard approval processes. This initiative is particularly focused on innovations that can detect and combat cancer. The insurance company plans to conduct pilot projects to assess the effectiveness of these technologies independently. The first phase will prioritize tools for diagnosing common cancers, with future expansions to include diabetes and dementia. Experts support this approach, noting it could lead to faster access to effective treatments for patients.
