First Session
E-Health: recent developments of the synergy between ICT and Clinic in one of the most interesting and innovative fields for high-tech Healthcare
Introduction
Healthcare and Life Sciences have always attracted the interest of researchers and companies, becoming one of the favorite and most challenging test fields for high-tech innovation. Futurists consider them intriguing subjects for their predictions, analysis and discussions. Massive changes are already occurring: from Artificial Intelligence applied to the so-called Internet of Medical Things creating real opportunities for patient empowerment and life safeness, to the huge investments in the Precision Medicine initiative paving the way to new frontiers for personalized diagnostics and medicine.
In this workshop, we will gather some protagonists of this innovation and look at actual examples of this revolution already “in place”. The goal is to establish a network of collaborations and possible new projects to make our territory one of the “Innovation hotspots” for Life Sciences in the World.

Second Session
Remote Assistance & Healthcare: the new frontiers for domiciliary diagnostic, therapeutic and nursing procedures
Introduction
The outstanding growth of the elderly population in the western world, where Liguria is a meaningful example (28% of residents over 65 years old, 30% in the Tigullio area, versus 12% in the USA) induce a rapid and draconian revisitation of ICP to limit the healthcare cost and also guarantee the essential assistance. The cost of chronic conditions is over 70% of the regional expenses bore by the National Health Service (in Liguria is over 3.5 B€/ per year but in Lombardy is over 11 B€/ per year!) and the majority share is surely hospitalization expenses. This progressive divergence forces a massive development of healthcare domiciliation and only a hi-tech improvement of the field will satisfy the growing economic and personal needs of the patients.
