A pioneer of e-health serving expatriates and travellers
Dr Silvia Kurpanik
In an era when digital health has become a global necessity, Dr Silvia Kurpanik offers modern, accessible and multilingual medical care. Based in Italy, in the cities of Florence and Naples, Dr Kurpanik has structured her medical practice by combining traditional face-to-face care with extensive telemedicine tools, designed above all for expatriates, travellers, students and international families.
Silvia Kurpanik is a General Practitioner, licensed to practise in Italy, Switzerland and Germany and provides services in several languages — Italian, English, German, Spanish and Polish — enabling her to treat patients from all over the world.
Her services are not limited to in-person consultations; they also include home visits, online appointments and video calls, tailored to each patient’s particular needs. Among her medical services are: in-clinic diagnostics (electrocardiograms (ECG), spirometry, lung function tests); laboratory diagnostics (blood tests, sample collection, infection tests, allergy testing, hormonal assessments, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.); and travel medicine (updating vaccination schedules, prophylaxis against travel-related illnesses, international certificates, and assessments of destination-specific risks). In addition, she offers minor surgery (wound treatments, sutures, burns, inflammations, etc.) and further services such as clinical nutrition and medical certificates.
One of the cornerstones of Dr Kurpanik’s model is telemedicine. In Naples she provides video consultations, chat services (for simple cases), email consultations, second opinions, and referrals to specialists, psychologists, physiotherapists and nutritionists. Digital consultations make it possible to review symptoms, interpret test results, issue prescriptions and medical certificates, whenever the circumstances allow.
Her digital services are clearly regulated, and her practice is certified according to digital security standards (for example, through her E-Health Institute platform).
Dr Kurpanik’s model is a major advantage for those living far from their home country or travelling frequently: linguistic and cultural flexibility, access to medical care without the need to travel, and rapid diagnosis and treatment.
Therefore, Dr Silvia Kurpanik represents a model of modern medical care, combining face-to-face and digital services, aimed particularly at people with international lives. Her preventive, multilingual and innovative approach makes her an example of how medicine can adapt to the times we live in, without losing rigour or a personal touch.
Recently Dr Silvia Kurpanik introduced her e-Health Institute AI system to answer the incoming general questions about her services in the shortest possible time 24 hours.
