Patient Empowerment Congress 2023 is two content-diverse days during which we will address many important topics close to patients with chronic diseases.

Day one:

• We will talk about health challenges from the patient's point of view in various system areas.
• We will look at oncology, personalized medicine, the future of diagnostics, strategies to build health and economic capital, widening health inequalities among other things in the context of an aging population and rapid technological advances, and artificial intelligence affecting health education
• Let's see if chatGPT and Elon Musk will enter the doctor's office with a patient
• We will also premiere a report on the use of social media in public health. The in-depth analysis entitled. "WEBHealth Impact" was created under the leadership of CMKP Professor Matthew Jankowski on behalf of the WELLCOMM organization. So let's check in the premiere discussion whether a doctor and a patient need to have a TikTok account to take care of health and effective health communication
• In the series "One on One" we will invite you to listen to conversations between leaders of patient organizations and experts of their choice
• During the first half of the day, we will be recording a special edition of radio broadcasts backstage at the Congress! Patient On The Wave is a unique project that every event participant can create with us!

The second day is co-created with the Polish Neurological Society and will be opened shoulder to shoulder with Prof. Konrad Rejdak, president of PTN.

Each debate on April 26 is a different path of a patient suffering from neurological diseases, so we will look in a narrow circle of experts at current system-health issues in multiple sclerosis, rare diseases, migraine or stroke. We will try to learn the secrets of the brain and talk about mental health.

The most important experts of the area of neurology, which is becoming a state priority, will be with us.

Let's meet in "Copernicus" next week! We believe that #health is not a #secretproject, but a #collaboration ! Therefore, we look forward to meeting you at this event and to fruitful health networking!

The Congress was under the honorary patronage of the Minister of Health and the Patient Ombudsman. Media patronage was given to our initiative by the editorial boards: TVP 3, Medexpress.pl, the magazine "Służba Zdrowia".
