Results from Spoke 10 of the Tuscany Health Ecosystem project presented at the concluding workshop organized by the Scuola Sant’Anna

The concluding workshop of the PNRR project “THE – Tuscany Health Ecosystem” was held yesterday, 19 November, at the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna. The event offered an opportunity to present the results achieved and to outline the future developments of the initiative.

The workshop brought together the Sant’Anna working groups involved in Spoke 10, coordinated by Sabina Nuti and Nicola Bellè. The presentations highlighted the multidisciplinary contribution of the Sant’Anna scientific community to key areas such as public health, organizational innovation, and social inclusion.

The day opened with an overview of the actions promoting health in inland areas, presented by the Permanent Population Observatory, followed by a session dedicated to the role of telemedicine and remote assistance models in the most vulnerable areas of the Tuscan territory. The multi-screening project carried out through mobile units—designed to improve access to preventive services—was also illustrated.

The discussion then moved to issues related to frailty, inclusion, and community engagement, with particular attention to the role of the third sector in supporting people with disabilities. In this context, the work of the Health Community Lab was presented, showcasing initiatives in social innovation and community participation.

The programme continued with a reflection on models for an integrated care system for people with chronic diseases, comorbidities, frailty, and complex needs. Another contribution focused on the development of a multimedia archive on migratory trauma, conceived as a resource for research and for supporting healthcare and social professionals.

The final part of the workshop was dedicated to tools supporting the governance and management of healthcare services. Innovative approaches and technologies were presented to enhance service integration, optimise resource allocation, and strengthen decision-making processes at different levels of the system.

The meeting concluded with an overview of the future perspectives of the THE project, emphasising the importance of collaboration among institutions, local communities, and stakeholders in addressing the challenges of public health and innovation within the regional healthcare system.
