Why is it important?

The program was created to facilitate and accelerate the work of a physician who is obliged to complete a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment card with the patient. It was intended to replace the filling out of a paper questionnaire, in which the doctor must personally sum up all the results, with a tool that will be available on tablets and which enables to complete and evaluate the results of medical examination faster than during performing the questionnaire in a traditional way.
