The programme of the Italian Hygiene Society (SItI) - “The Digital Transformation of Public Health – 2nd edition” – has developed the ideas that emerged during the initial experimentation, providing participants with the opportunity to practice frontier-technology (AI, IoT, immersive reality, blockchain) to improve public hygiene services. The first day on theoretical notions was followed by a day of lab work on research, development and prototyping to lay the foundations for future functional products. The 26 participants, all health professionals, were coordinated by expert coaches.
