Early detection of threats such as heart attack, stroke or heart failure and support for medical personnel in decision-making – these are the goals of the CardioSense project. Scientists from the Lodz University of Technology are developing an intelligent telecare system for predicting cardiovascular events. The project, worth almost PLN 5.9 million, is being developed in cooperation with HRP Care sp. z o.o. Experts – doctors and other medical services – also play a huge role in the project.

However, I am certain that the egg is an excellent food product in our diet.
