Practical guidelines for exercise prescription in different clinical populations
Exercise training represents a cornerstone therapeutic intervention for managing chronic health conditions, yet its practical implementation in clinical settings remains suboptimal due to challenges in individualization and safety considerations across diverse patient populations. This narrative review provides practical guidelines for exercise prescription in outpatients with chronic conditions, grounded in recent international recommendations a…
Preliminary results of a multidimensional approach to screen for frailty in community-dwelling older adults of eight Italian regions: The SUNFRAIL+ study
Background: Frailty syndrome in older adults is an age-related decline in many physiological systems, that results in a reduced response to minor stressors, and leading to an increased risk of falls, hospitalization, disability and death. Frailty can be prevented, reversed or mitigated by early screening for frailty risk in community-dwelling older adults, allowing for preventive interventions on clinical and social determinants. Objectives: The …
Innovative approach to designing user-centred digital solutions for plastic surgery patients with non-melanoma skin cancer
Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) are the most common malignancy in fair-skinned patients. NMSCs incidence increases with age, and as the worldwide population is constantly ageing, the management of patients with NMSCs poses a considerable burden on healthcare systems. This study aimed to identify key digital solutions addressing the unmet needs of individuals with a NMSCs profile, through an adaptation of the “Blueprint on Digital Transformation…
Virtual reality solution to promote adapted physical activity in older adults: Outcomes from VR2Care project exploratory study
Background Insufficient physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for death worldwide. Regular exercise can improve physical performance and quality of life, reduce the risks of falls and depressive symptoms, and reduce the likelihood of cognitive decline in older adults. Virtual reality (VR) and serious games (SG) are promising tools to improve physical and cognitive functioning. As part of the VR2Care project activities, four pilot s…
Digital interventions for weight control to prevent obesity in adolescents: A systematic review
Digital interventions addressing the unmet needs of older adults with multimorbidity: A mixed-methods persona design approach
Background Frailty and multimorbidity in older adults require integrated, multidomain care models. Digital health solutions offer potential for improving self-management, but a structured methodology to translate the complex unmet needs of this population into tailored digital interventions is still lacking. Objectives To propose and illustrate a mixed-methods, persona-based approach for mapping unmet needs of older adults with multimorbidity to …
Aging well in an aging society: Italy at the forefront of global aging and the Age-It Research Program
Leveraging Italy's unique demographic profile and internal heterogeneity, Age-It promotes sustainable aging by harnessing the opportunities embedded in demographic change. The program ranges from the biology of aging to mental and physical health prevention, long-term care, labor market dynamics, and social participation-ultimately aiming to reshape how aging is perceived and managed in aging societies
Multidimensional determinants of active and healthy aging trajectories: A position paper from the Age-It Research Program
Spoke 4 of Age-It highlights the need for multidimensional, One Health-based strategies that integrate traditional health determinants with digital innovations. By combining evidence-based interventions with user-centered e-health platforms, scalable and inclusive solutions can be developed to support healthy aging. These efforts provide policymakers and healthcare systems with tools to foster resilience, mitigate frailty, and enhance quality of …
Clinical outcomes of a digitally supported approach for self-management of type 2 diabetes mellitus
Background Self-management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is challenging. Regular self-monitoring of blood glucose and healthy lifestyles are required to improve glycometabolic control, thus delaying diabetes complications, and reducing hospitalizations. Digital technologies can empower patients in their disease management promoting self-management and motivation to change behaviors. We report the results of an exploratory trial aimed at evalu…
Digital Health Service for Identification of Frailty Risk Factors in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: The SUNFRAIL+ Study Protocol
This article reports the study protocol of a nationwide multicentric study in seven Italian regions aimed at assessing the effectiveness of a digitally supported approach for the early screening of frailty risk factors in community-dwelling older adults. SUNFRAIL+ is a prospective observational cohort study aimed at carrying out a multidimensional assessment of community-dwelling older adults through an IT platform, which allows to connect the it…
“One Health” Approach for Health Innovation and Active Aging in Campania (Italy)
This article describes how innovations are exploited in Campania (Italy) to improve health outcomes, quality of life, and sustainability of social and healthcare services. Campania's strategy for digitalization of health and care and for healthy aging is based on a person-centered, life-course, “One Health” approach, where demographic change is considered capable of stimulating a growth dynamic linked to the opportunities of combining the “Silver…
Digitally Enabled Health Service for the Integrated Management of Hypertension: A Participatory User-Centred Design Process
This article describes a user-centred approach taken by a group of five procurers to set specifications for the procurement of value-based research and development services for IT-supported integrated hypertension management. The approach considered the unmet needs of patients and health systems of the involved regions. The procurers established a framework for requirements and a solution design consisting of nine building blocks, divided into th…
Can Integrated Care Help in Meeting the Challenges Posed on Our Health Care Systems by Covid-19? Some Preliminary Lessons Learned from the European Vigour Project
The COVID-19 pandemic puts health and care systems under pressure globally. This current paper highlights challenges arising in the care for older and vulnerable populations in this context and reflects upon possible perspectives for different systems making use of nested integrated care approaches adapted during the work of the EU-funded project VIGOUR ("Evidence based Guidance to Scale-up Integrated Care in Europe", funded by the European Union…
Creating a Culture of Health in Planning and Implementing Innovative Strategies Addressing Non-communicable Chronic Diseases
Ongoing demographic changes are challenging health systems worldwide especially in relation to increasing longevity and the resultant rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). To meet these challenges, a paradigm shift to a more proactive approach to health promotion, and maintenance is needed. This new paradigm focuses on creating and implementing an ecological model of Culture of Health. The conceptualization of the Culture of Health is defined…
