You might remember our announcement from a few months ago about our partners' contribution to the Master ARTE (artificial intelligence and telemedicine) of the University of Parma.
The lectures contributed then as part of the program have been held under embargo to give enrolled students a reasonable advance access to content... However they are now offered to everyone in keeping with our spirit. We are glad to share the videos here below for your evaluation:

I have recently read this twitter post by John Carlos Baez and immediately something else came to my mind: the piece "The counter-intuitive rise of Python in scientific computing" arguing that if one tool (python in the specific case) feels arguably technically inferior to alternatives, especially in the hands of power users, then we must still reckon with the fact that it has become the de facto most common/popular language in scientific computing and data sciences. How is this possible, despite remaining quite puzzling to technicians, is a secret hidden in plain sight: we are talking of a tool that enormously lowers the barriers to access, and makes it rather easy to focus on exploration, reuse, and composition of preexisting work, despite at the cost of some performances and elegance, thus attracting all those users whose mission is not to specifically challenge and develop tools, but to use them in applied fields with their own very specialised knowledge/expertise to be kept up to date and integrated.
A few days ago Dr Marco Manca joined an online informal seminar/conversation hosted by the Edgeryders about the topic of meaningful human control of autonomous systems, largely inspired by Dr Manca's contribution to the activities of NATO STO HFM-330 but touching on the wider issues of how to understand current machine learning and the potentials and pitfalls of its deployment across most sectors of human enterprise.
We believe this might be of interest to many, and we are pleased to hereby share a recording of the meeting. We further invite you to join the conversation online hosted by the Edgeryders
You might already know that our parent entity, the Italian Society of Telemedicine, is patronizing the 1st level Master on ARtificial intelligence and TElemedicine "ARTE" hosted by the University of Parma.
Today, the Board of Directors of SCImPULSE Foundation decided to overreach, and each member of the Board offered a lecture on the subject, from the point of view of their unique professional expertise... what's even better, they decided to license it under the Creative Commons "Attribution" 4.0 licence, so we are able to share the recordings with you, and really anyone interested:

On 22-23 October 2021 SIT reunited the top of the crop of Italian telemedicine experts to discuss the adjacent possible of eHealth and telemedicine, and to update the vision for the future with lessons learnt during the covid19 pandemics and inspired by the climate change impact on human health overall.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE
TELEMEDICINE: PRESENT AND FUTURE
22 – 23 October 2021
Today, Friday October 22, and tomorrow, Saturday 23, The annual national conference of the Italian Society of Telemedicine (SIT) is taking place. It puts together all the competences that can help develop telemedicine.
Among the most interesting panels offered by SIT, there is “P.N.R.R (National Recovery Plan) and promotion of community healthcare. Let’s start by betworking what is there and works well already: pharmacies, doctors’ offices, and home care cooperatives” SIT Region Puglia symposium, with the contribution of Cardio On Line Europe. At the heart of the discussion, the role of pharmacies in the new, post-pandemic medicine.
The speakers have highlighted the fundamental role that Italian pharmacies have played in the relationship between citizens and medicine during the pandemic. The network of Italian pharmacies is a fundamental service in the Local Healthcare System, which create a serious and continuing dialogue with the institutions and the state. When the pharmacies become a veritable health centre, they must be thought of differently: many useful and crucial services for citizens – starting with COVID testing – are already a reality and Italian pharmacies are the best platform for the development of telemedicine. Experimentation must however turn into reality, also thanks to the vision given by the PNNR (National recovery fund)’s funding. Cooperation and coproduction is ever more crucial, desired both by Doctors and Pharmacists, which will allow the involvement of a wider healthcare area among which community nurses. The pharmacy as a service hub can become a crossroads of different professional disciplines, in which each one takes on their role’s responsibilities, working together efficiently with the others. Post-Covid, it is already a reality for Covid tests and vaccines.

22 – 23 OTTOBRE 2021
Si svolge oggi, venerdì 22 ottobre e domani, sabato 23 il congresso annuale nazionale della SIT, la Società Italiana di Telemedicina. Mette assieme tutte le competenze che possono sviluppare la telemedicina.
Fra i panel più interessati proposti da SIT anche questo sul tema: “P.N.R.R. e promozione della Sanità Territoriale. Cominciamo a mettere in rete quello che c’è e funziona: le farmacie, gli studi medici e le cooperative di assistenza domiciliare”, simposio SIT Regione Puglia, con il contributo di Cardio On Line Europe. Al centro del dibattito il ruolo delle farmacie nella nuova medicina, post pandemia.
I relatori hanno messo in evidenza il ruolo fondamentale avuto dalle farmacie italiane nel rapporto fra i cittadini e la medicina nel periodo della pandemia. La rete delle farmacie italiane è un servizio fondamentale nel Servizio Sanitario Locale, per creare un dialogo serie e continuo con le istituzioni e con lo stato. Nel momento in cui le farmacie diventato presidio sanitario vanno però pensate in maniera diversa, molti servizi utili e fondamentali per i cittadini – a partire dai tamponi – sono già realtà e le farmacie italiane sono la piattaforma migliore per sviluppare la telemedicina. Si passi però dalla sperimentazione alla realtà, anche con la prospettiva data dai fondi del PNNR. E’ sempre più fondamentale la cooperazione e la coproduzione che sia Medici sia Farmacisti vogliono e che consentirà di coinvolgere anche l'area sanitaria tra cui gli infermieri di comunità. La Farmacia dei Servizi come crocevia di professionalità diverse in cui ognuna assume le responsabilità che competono al ruolo interoperando in modo efficiente con le altre. E’ già una realtà, post covid, per tamponi e vaccini.

SIT: MOVING BEYOND THE SILO LOGIC THROUGH STANDARDIZATION

NATIONAL CONFERENCE
LA TELEMEDICINA: PRESENTE E FUTURO
22 – 23 OCTOBER 2021
Today, Friday October 22, and tomorrow, Saturday 23, The annual national conference of the Italian Society of Telemedicine (SIT) is taking place. It puts together all the competences that can help develop telemedicine.
Among the most innovative panels offered by SIT there is “Home care and the future of healthcare for the treatment of chronic illness and COVID”.
The speakers have highlighted the fundamental role of telemedicine and the PNRR’s (National recovery plan) initiatives. There are many concrete proposals, among which the need to put together data and information. In order to achieve that, a high standardisation of data, processes, and telemedicine platforms is needed. It is only in this way that we can manage to leave the “Silos logic”, as the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza has put it.
Among the speakers, M. Bonomini has reminded how “contact does heal”, and therefore technology and telemedicine are great, without forgetting the fundamental duties of care. M. Cipolla has further proposed an integrated telemedicine project to overcome territorial chronicities: “COVID has taught us that we must be ready to change, while guaranteeing democracy of care. Sustainability, that is to say, the right cost of the system, taking charge of everyone, and attention to the territorial chronicities – these are the guidelines for the future. From the presented data it emerges how a good organization of territorial telemedicine, as envisioned by the PNRR, can have immediate and measurable effects on reductions in hospital admissions, as well as improvements on quality of life, and treatment of diseases.
Telemedicine’s approaches stand between innovation and tradition, aiming towards the personalization and humanization of medicine, as true paragons of the future’s medicine.

SIT: USCIRE DALLA LOGICA DEI SILOS CON LA STANDARDIZZAZIONE

CONGRESSO NAZIONALE
LA TELEMEDICINA: PRESENTE E FUTURO
22 – 23 OTTOBRE 2021
E’ in corso oggi, venerdì 22 ottobre e domani, sabato 23 il congresso annuale nazionale della SIT, la Società Italiana di Telemedicina. Mette assieme tutte le competenze che possono sviluppare la telemedicina.
Fra i panel più innovativi proposti da SIT c’è anche quello su “L’home care e il futuro dell’assistenza sanitaria per la cura cronicità e del Covid”.
I relatori hanno messo in evidenza il ruolo fondamentale della telemedicina e delle iniziative del PNNR. Molte le proposte concrete, fra cui la necessità di mettere in comune dati e informazioni. Per riuscirci occorre una standardizzazione alta dei dati, dei processi e delle piattaforme di telemedicina. Solo così si può riuscire ad uscire dalla “logica dei silos”, per dirla con il ministro della Sanità, Roberto Speranza. Fra i relatori anche M. Bonomini che ha ricordato come “il contatto cura” e quindi benissimo la tecnologia e la telemedicina, senza dimenticare i doveri fondamentali della cura. M. Cipolla ha inoltre proposto un progetto integrato di telemedicina per uscire dalla cronicità territoriali “il Covid ci ha insegnato che dobbiamo essere pronti ai cambiamenti, garantendo la democraticità della cure”. Sostenibilità, cioè giusto costo del sistema, presa in carico di tutti e attenzione alle cronicità territoriali, queste le linee guida per il futuro. Dai dati presentati si capisce come una buona organizzazione della telemedicina territoriale, come prevista dal PNRR, possa avere effetti immediati e misurabili sia sulla riduzione dei ricoveri, sia sull'aumento della qualità di vita e sulla cura delle malattie. Gli approcci della telemedicina si trovano fra innovazione e tradizione puntando sulla personalizzazione e sull’umanizzazione della medicina, veri modelli della medicina del futuro.
