“The Silesian University of Technology is constantly responding to the changing needs of society by combining science and practice of continuous activities for the benefit of the society. EHTIC is a kind of a forge of solutions to the most important health challenges, such as the aging society. We develop and implement projects that will both ease the burden on the health care system and contribute to better treatment of patients. It is here that both Polish and foreign companies find research facilities for the development of their ideas in the field of medicine, or health in its broad concept.”
