Italy accelerates the path towards digital therapeutics implementation

PME talks to Roberto Ascione, CEO of Healthware Group, Gualberto Gussoni, Scientific Director of FADOI, Scientific Society of Internal Medicine and Giuseppe Recchia, Director of Tendenze Nuove about the advancement of digital therapeutics in Italy.

Following the USA, Germany and France as pioneers in digital therapeutics adoption, Italy is taking action to reinforce the implementation of digital therapeutics nationwide. In January 2021, Tendenze Nuove, the official Smith Kline Foundation journal, announced the publication of ‘Digital Therapeutics, an Opportunity for Italy’, a white paper whose recommendations lay the foundational knowledge for Italian digital therapeutics ecosystem advancement and demonstrate Italy’s commitment to introducing the new class of digital therapeutics into medical practice.
