Digital Health initiatives and the NRRP have shaped a new demand for digital health, enhancing its role and placing it at the heart of the National Health Service like never before.

This demand follows four key directions: the expansion of digital solutions across prevention, care (including remote care), and treatment processes; the definition of specialized features; a strong transformative drive, supported by cutting-edge technologies - particularly those focused on data governance, management, and visualization; and the adoption of agile approaches in the design and development of greenfield solutions as well as in the implementation of product-based systems.

At Engineering, we play a central role in the digital transformation of preventive, diagnostic, clinical, and care processes within the NHS, with the goal of improving the quality of care and organizational models.

The starting point for taking digital health to the next level is building accessible and practical knowledge bases for personalized medicine, also available to professionals in prevention and primary care.

The goal is to shorten the time between scientific discovery and its real-world application in clinical practice, especially at the local level.

To achieve this, it is essential to:

• turn knowledge into actionable tools integrated into existing digital solutions, helping healthcare professionals identify and activate personalized care pathways when appropriate
• expand the available data to include patients’ “-omics” information and leveraging advanced technologies to develop predictive approaches
• actively engage individuals in their health journeys, providing tools that support participation, adherence, and monitoring throughout every stage of care.
