Abstract: Public Health, Preventive Medicine and Digital Health
Over time, we have witnessed a metamorphosis in the concept of health, which has favored the positive meaning of physical, mental, and social well-being of the individual, rather than the traditional negative concept of health as the absence of disease. All this has disrupted the old categories, placing the emphasis on health promotion and prevention. A cultural change is therefore necessary, starting with the increase and spread of new technologies. In the medical field, in fact, artificial intelligence applications have grown significantly alongside a massive proliferation of data. Obviously, alongside reasonable enthusiasm, fears of future risks are also evident.
