In a major step toward the modernization of clinical decision-making and medical education, PZWL Medical Publishing—a flagship brand within the PWN Group—has launched Medico PZWL, an AI-powered knowledge and support platform tailored specifically for healthcare professionals in Poland. At the heart of this innovation lies MediChat, a generative AI assistant trained exclusively on verified medical publications, setting a new benchmark in the responsible application of AI in medicine. This development comes as artificial intelligence adoption in Poland’s healthcare sector is accelerating. According to the e-Health Center’s 2024 digitalization report, 13.2% of Polish hospitals now use AI solutions, up from 6.4% in 2023. While most AI tools are currently applied in diagnostic imaging—especially CT and MRI scans—Medico PZWL enters a less saturated yet critical domain: day-to-day medical decision support and education.

A Digital Leap from a Scientific Legacy
PZWL, established in 1945, has long been a cornerstone of Polish medical publishing. The launch of Medico PZWL marks a pivotal shift—from static print knowledge to dynamic, AI-assisted workflows—without compromising the scientific rigor that has defined the publisher for decades.
“Creating the platform is a natural step in the evolution of a digital publishing house and a direct response to real needs in the healthcare system,” said Natalia Wojciechowska, CEO of the PWN Group. “Each feature has been designed in collaboration with doctors and medical students to ensure practical relevance.”
What Is Medico PZWL?
Medico PZWL is a comprehensive digital platform offering tools, resources, and personalized assistance for healthcare professionals. It combines a 150,000-document library of peer-reviewed content—spanning medical journals, clinical guidelines, pharmaceutical data, case studies, and academic textbooks—with an intuitive interface powered by AI.
Its flagship component, MediChat, functions as a clinical-grade conversational agent. Unlike general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT or Google Bard, MediChat is not trained on internet data. Instead, it generates answers only from verified content curated by the publisher and its expert council. Each AI-generated answer includes source citations, offering traceable, evidence-based guidance for clinical queries, pharmacological decisions, and patient counseling. Other platform features include:
Drug & Interaction Database
Clinical Decision Tools and Memo Cards
Personalized Learning Modules for PES Exam Preparation
Multimedia Content & Virtual Simulations
Patient-Centric Recommendations and Risk Assessments
Medical Community Involvement: Expert-Backed, Ethically Designed
To ensure scientific integrity, Medico PZWL is guided by a Program Council of over 20 leading Polish clinicians, including notable experts like:
Prof. Artur Mamcarz – Internal medicine and cardiology
Prof. Krzysztof Simon – Infectious diseases
Prof. Jacek Jassem – Oncology
Prof. Anna Raciborska – Pediatrics
Prof. Katarzyna Winsz-Szczotka – Clinical biochemistry
These contributors do more than lend credibility—they help shape the platform’s logic, clinical priorities, and bias-avoidance protocols, ensuring that AI augmentation never replaces, but rather enhances, human expertise.
Poland Joins the Global Race in Medical AI
Globally, medical AI is booming. From UpToDate Advanced’s differential diagnosis assistant to IBM Watson’s oncology tools (now partially defunct), there has been no shortage of efforts to blend machine intelligence with human healthcare. However, what makes Medico PZWL distinct is its localization, scientific transparency, and cultural integration into the Polish health system. Unlike most AI systems trained on English-language data, MediChat operates in Polish, referencing national clinical protocols, Polish pharmacopoeia, and the unique challenges of Poland’s public and private healthcare models. In a market dominated by U.S. and German AI-health solutions, this homegrown alternative meets a vital need.
What’s Next? Integration with National Health Infrastructure
PZWL has hinted that future updates may include integration with Poland’s centralized e-health systems (P1 and P2), enabling dynamic updates based on patient data, current epidemiological threats, or regulatory changes. If realized, Medico PZWL could evolve into a real-time clinical companion—bridging the gap between academic knowledge and bedside decision-making. The platform is also expected to release a mobile app version in late 2025, tailored for quick reference during ward rounds and ambulatory care visits.
In an era when AI often threatens to outpace human comprehension, Medico PZWL offers a blueprint for how artificial intelligence can be ethically and effectively integrated into medicine. By rooting its algorithms in verified literature and aligning its development with the lived realities of Polish doctors, the platform shows that AI in healthcare doesn’t need to be disruptive—it can be collaborative, context-aware, and grounded in science. As MediChat starts to enter clinics, lecture halls, and hospital desktops across the country, it might just become the next essential tool in the Polish physician’s toolkit—alongside the stethoscope, the prescription pad, and the national formulary.
