Vision Mission

Medipol Health in Industry Project “MEDES” will be carried out by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Devrim Tarakcı, a faculty member at Istanbul Medipol University School of Health Sciences Department of Occupational Therapy, and his team, aiming to provide services to various industrial organizations and educational institutions within the scope of the project.

Medipol Health System in Industry, in short MEDES, is a protective and preventive health service aimed at minimizing risks against potential problems in body systems (musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system) resulting from physical inactivity and sedentary habits caused by spending long hours in work and school environments during daily life. Due to remaining inactive for long periods or working in a specific posture at workplaces and schools, body structures—primarily the musculoskeletal system—can become susceptible to injuries and trauma. Preventing injuries by identifying and mitigating risks through prior assessments and interventions reduces labor loss associated with healthcare provided after problems emerge, while enhancing individual contribution by increasing efficiency. Developed in line with these objectives, MEDES offers assessment and intervention services to individuals in terms of physical fitness, musculoskeletal system, and sensory systems.
