Nestmedic expands cooperation with Polish healthcare establishments. The Company has just finalized a contract with Duchess Anna Mazowiecka Public Teaching Hospital in Warsaw. Now Pregnabit – a telemedical CTG system is available to the hospital’s pregnant patients. Currently, Nestmedic is focused on increasing the availability of mobile CTG in both Poland and on foreign markets by negotiating further cooperation agreements and managing pilot implementation programmes.

Duchess Anna Mazowiecka Public Teaching Hospital at Karowa street in Warsaw is one of the six hospitals of the Medical University of Warsaw. For more than hundred years now, the establishment’s primary mission has been to provide care to women of all ages and newborn babies. The hospital organisational structure includes the 2^nd Department and Unit of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, the Gynaecological Endocrinology Unit and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. As a scientific and teaching centre, the hospital can ensure high standards of treatment. The departments offer modern equipment which guarantees exceptional quality and safety of all medical procedures. Qualified healthcare professionals apply therapies that are recommended by global and Polish medical societies.

The hospital has just expanded its portfolio of perinatal care services with a remote CTG examination. The facility has just purchased Pregnabit devices, thanks to which pregnant women will be able to perform the examination at any time and anywhere, without having to visit a hospital.

– Our cooperation with the “Karowa” Teaching Hospital in Warsaw is another important step for us in the commercialisation of our mobile CTG device, Pregnabit. We are glad that our devices will expand the medical service proposal in the area of perinatal care, which has been the hospital’s primary focus for decades now. We are pleased that a growing number of public healthcare establishments are able to see the potential of telemedicine and willing to invest in telemedical solutions, comments Jacek Gnich, Nestmedic CEO.

At the same time, the Company is handling pilot implementation programmes and business talks with other medical establishments, which may translate into more contracts, and thus further increase the number of CTG examinations performed in Poland.

The pilot implementation of Pregnabit mobile CTG – Nestmedic’s flagship product will last until the end of March at selected establishments of Diagnostyka – a network of medical laboratories in Kraków. The parties’ test cooperation began in November and was to last until the end of December. Its extension will allow more patients and doctors to use the innovative telemedical device. At the moment, Diagnostyka’s offer reaches 15 million patients a year, all over Poland.

The pilot implementation of the solution by Nestmedic at Diagnostyka’s laboratories is another important step towards commercialisation of the mobile teleCTG on the local market. The Pregnabit system with a dedicated platform for handling and analysing CTG test records has extended the portfolio of the network’s dedicated pregnancy care services. Indeed, pregnant women are an important group of patients for whom Diagnostyka already provides a wide range of tests and services. Remote teleCTG care will be a new and important part of the service proposal.

– Having consulted the management of Diagnostyka, we came to the conclusion that a two-month cooperation period is too short to draw specific conclusions. Therefore, we decided to extend the pilot implementation programme to reach the largest group of pregnant women and doctors with our product. We forecast that as Christmas approaches, interest in our mobile CTG Pregnabit will increase significantly. Thanks to our solution, expecting mothers can check the well-being of their child at any time and anywhere, without having to visit a medical establishment, says Patrycja Wizińska-Socha, Member of Nestmedic Management Board.

The combination of Diagnostyka’s wide reach to patients with innovation and mobility provided by the Pregnabit system offers a real chance of improving the quality of perinatal care in Poland. In the parties’ opinion, the introduction of teleCTG to the network of Diagnostyka’s facilities will ultimately exert a positive impact on the availability of CTG examination across the country. It will also let patients borrow Pregnabit devices, including via doctors from smaller facilities and individual surgeries.

Diagnostyka has over 800 facilities in Poland, dedicated to individual patients, and also cooperates with several thousand third-party healthcare facilities, offering over 2500 types of tests. A group that is strongly represented among cooperating professionals comprises gynaecologists and obstetricians.

Pregnabit – a telemedical CTG system and a flagship project of Nestmedic systematically increases its presence at Polish hospitals. Another 10 devices will soon find their place in the Voivoideship Specialist Hospital in Biała Podlaska. At the same time, the Company is conducting talks and managing pilot implementations of its mobile CTG device with other healthcare facilities and entities, both in Poland and abroad.

Nestmedic has expanded its cooperation with the Voivodeship Specialist Hospital in Biała Podlaska. The facility has just purchased another 10 Pregnabit devices. Until now, for over a year, the patients have had 6 devices for mobile CTG at their disposal. The cooperation was very successful, as the system has improved prevention by early detection of health threats while adding to the sense of security and comfort among pregnant women.

The Voivodeship Specialist Hospital in Biała Podlaska is one of five voivodeship hospitals and, at the same time, the largest diagnostic and treatment centre in the northern part of the Lubelskie Voivodeship. The hospital provides specialist medical care to the region’s population of approx. 380,000 people. The hospital is committed to improving the standard of care for pregnant women. The facility implements the national programme of coordinated care for pregnant women (KOC). The programme provides for an extensive and comprehensive care for expecting mothers, including during delivery and 6 weeks after birth.

– Our innovative solution addresses the needs of modern healthcare, as evidenced by the expansion of our cooperation with the hospital in Biała Podlaska. This is a consequence of over a year’s presence of Pregnabit devices at the facility, preceded by successful pilot tests on site. Positive feedback about our mobile CTG system from both patients and medical staff confirms that our mission is the right one. Since the beginning of 2019 until the end of October, 2690 tests were performed in Poland with the Pregnabit system. For comparison, throughout 2018, as many as 2317 tests were performed, comments dr n. med. Patrycja Wizińska-Socha, Member of Nestmedic Management Board.

At the same time, the Company is in talks with other medical establishments, which may translate into more contracts, and thus further increase the number of CTG examinations performed in Poland.
