DARE - Digital Lifelong Prevention

ABSTRACT

A national center of competence on digital technologies for prevention supporting public healthcare.


Where: Italy

Challenge

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases and recent health crises make a structural transformation of the healthcare system necessary, shifting from a care‑centered model to one focused on prevention.

Digital technologies applied to healthcare enable more effective, targeted, and sustainable prevention, while also improving the overall quality of public health services.

Approach

Digital‑enabled prevention opens new opportunities to strengthen key public health activities, such as risk prediction, health surveillance, early diagnosis, response to acute and chronic diseases, and continuous monitoring of citizens’ health.

DARE supports the National Health Service in the definition and adoption of prevention policies promoting healthy lifestyles, through digital solutions that enable proactive population health management.
