Health

Advances in sensing technology, combined with intelligent analysis and Artificial Intelligence (AI), promise to revolutionize care and mitigate the implications of diseases, often coupled with inaccessible or limited therapy options. Holistic and objective information to clinicians about patient health status can drive the development of personalized interventions to improve the patient’s health, psycho-social balance and quality of life, alleviating ailments and slowing down the progression of the disease. Solutions for effectively monitoring living conditions and habits, suggesting activities towards well-being and preventative actions, play a fundamental role in supporting individuals to maintain and continue their daily activities and live independently. Such solutions can also proactively help people who have no health problems to improve their lifestyle and adopt healthier living routines.
