On Friday 13 June 2025, the meeting of the permanent working table of the European project CoVe - CARE about IT, dedicated to the development of digital health, was held at the Fondazione Digital Innovation Gate 421 in Roreto di Cherasco. The event, promoted by APRO Formazione in collaboration with ASL CN2 and T4Med, represented a moment of confrontation between public bodies, companies, training institutions and social and health care providers on the future of the digitalisation of the sector in Piedmont.
During the conference, the main results achieved by the project in its first two years of activity and the initiatives currently underway at European level were illustrated. Particular attention was paid to the six educational modules under development: innovative training paths, designed according to the European micro-credential standards, conceived to enhance the digital competences of students and health and social workers.
One of the most eagerly awaited speeches was that of Prof. Paolo Colli Franzone, President of the Institute for the Management of Innovation in Healthcare, who offered an overview of the main directions of digital transformation in Italian healthcare, with a focus on telemedicine and territorial healthcare.
The panel discussion, moderated by Adriana Riccomagno, was attended by:
- Sara Vaschetto and Debora Ventura (Cooperativa Sociale Progetto Emmaus), who illustrated the tele-wellness and integrated remote assistance projects;
- Luca Iozzia, Teiacare's Ancelia product manager, and Simone Piumatti, social and health worker, who described the application of the system at the 'I Glicini' residence in Bra;
- Stefania Faggio, professional didactics tutor, who presented the activities of the Advanced Simulation Centre of the Michele and Pietro Ferrero Hospital;
- Mario Grimaldi, nursing coordinator of the ASL CN2 territorial nursing service.
The meeting concluded with thematic working groups, in which participants analysed the barriers to health technology deployment at regional level and identified common strategies and objectives to foster their adoption.
The CARE about IT project thus continues to promote collaboration between the world of education, businesses and institutions for the development of an increasingly integrated and effective digital health ecosystem. All interested stakeholders are invited to sign the project's Memorandum of Under standing to actively contribute to the construction of this innovative ecosystem.
