5 Polish innovations that are changing the face of medicine

BioCam – a capsule that looks inside a person

Can cancer and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract be diagnosed…. while sitting at home? Thanks to BioCam – yes. It’s a new-generation Polish endoscopic capsule that captures images of the entire digestive tract without anesthesia, without hospitalization and without stress.

Artificial intelligence analyzes images up to 12 times faster than a doctor, automatically detecting worrisome changes. The mobile app and telemedicine platform turn this into a full digital diagnostic pathway. What’s more – the technology also works… in animals!

In fact, it’s more than a capsule. It’s a new standard in diagnostics.

Bionic pancreas – an organ from a printer that saves lives

The Polish company Polbionica has created something that not long ago seemed impossible – the world’s first 3D printed bionic organ, ready for transplantation. The bionic pancreas contains living cells, a vascular system and produces insulin.

This is a revolution for millions of type I diabetics. In Poland, only 40 pancreases are transplanted each year, while there are 20,000 in need. Now we have a chance not only to help them, but also to change the model of all transplantation. A printer instead of a queue for a transplant.

Genomtec ID – genes under the magnifying glass and result in 30 minutes

Time is life – especially in diagnostics. Genomtec ID is a portable genetic laboratory that delivers test results in 20-45 minutes. A saliva or swab sample is enough to detect genetic mutations, infections or select precise cancer therapy.

The system works in pharmacies, clinics and even ambulances. It makes diagnostics closer to the patient, cheaper and more accessible. It’s precision medicine that doesn’t require large laboratories.

And the future? Diagnostics in the hands of every GP, with no queues or delays.

ONIRY – technology that listens to women after childbirth

One in four women experience trauma after childbirth that no one tells her about. Why? Because current diagnostic methods are inaccurate, with a response time of just 24 hours.

ONIRY is the world’s first device that diagnoses perinatal injuries in minutes – accurately, non-invasively and without pain. Artificial intelligence analyzes the data instantly, supporting staff to intervene quickly and accurately.

It’s not just technology. It’s a real change in the quality of life for thousands of women. Because every mother deserves good care. And full health.

iYoni – a fertility clinic in your pocket

More than 186 million people worldwide experience fertility problems. iYoni is a Polish app and clinic in one that supports family planning through artificial intelligence and integrated e-health services.

Fertility evaluation? Early detection of endometriosis? Hormonal diagnosis? iYoni analyzes more than 240 parameters, works in 15 languages, integrates with wearables and has already helped more than 30,000 women get pregnant.

It is medical care always at hand. Without taboos. Without waiting. With medical quality.

Poland is changing medicine. And literally!

From a swallowable capsule instead of an endoscopy, to a printed pancreas and AI in the delivery room, to a fertility clinic on a smartphone, the solutions of the future are being developed right here in Poland. This is medicine with a human face. Medicine that is closer. Faster. More accurate. And truly changing the world for the better.

Innovation is born out of challenges – an interview with Renata Krzykawska, co-founder of LifeGel

Renata Krzykawska is the co-founder and leader of Real Research, a Polish company that has pioneered the development of 3D cell culture tools and services. In an interview with us, Renata talks about the beliefs she had to overcome, her moments of doubt and the strength that comes from the support of loved ones. She also talks about what success and failure mean to her, and what is most important when building something truly groundbreaking.

Success tastes much better if it is achieved after a series of setbacks, says Malodobra-Mazur, PhD.

Dr. Małgorzata Małodobra-Mazur has been combining science and practice for years, proving that innovations are not born in isolation, but in response to specific medical needs. Co-founder and Director of Research and Development at Genomtec S.A., she is the co-creator of solutions that bring genetic diagnostics closer to the patient - making fast and precise diagnosis available not only in laboratories, but also where every minute counts.
