Pro-Plus to enter US telemedicine market

Polish telemedical company Pro-Plus has been operating on the Polish market for 20 years, although telemedicine has become more prevalent in Poland in recent years. Nevertheless, few institutions make use of this technology. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Switzerland and Indonesia are the leading users of the systems distributed by Pro-Plus. Now the company wants to launch its products on the US market which is worth USD 10 billion. The US is responsible for half of today's telemedicine market. The company will be intorduced at the end of 2016, where it also will face greater competition. The vice-chairman of Pro-Plus, Jerzy Szewczyk told that "people's awareness in western countries is greater and thus there is no need to persuade hospitals and other medical institutions of the advantages of this kind of service." Pro-Plus offers monitoring of patients with cardiac disorders, tele-caring for older persons as well as prophylaxis.
