title="Two-way applications for patient monitoring and caregiver support: the use of modern technologies in palliative care",
abstract="The article focuses on the role of new technologies, particularly two-way mobile applications, in improving palliative care. With increasing demands in caring for chronically and terminally ill patients, digital tools are becoming invaluable for both patients and their caregivers. These apps enable systematic monitoring of symptoms such as pain or shortness of breath, facilitating faster response from medical staff. They also provide access to educational materials, home care guidance, and communication channels with the care team. For caregivers, this translates to a greater sense of security, improved task organization, and emotional support during difficult situations. The article also emphasizes the importance of tailoring applications to individual needs and  ensuring the protection of patient data. The findings suggest that technology can significantly enhance the quality of life for palliative patients and support more effective interdisciplinary care.",
