(Adnkronos) - Arriva mySmart Diary, la prima web app che utilizza l'Intelligenza Artificiale per aiutare i terapeuti nella gestione dei pazienti con disturbi del comportamento alimentare. Il progetto, presentato da Fondazione per la Sostenibilità digitale, nella Sala Caduti di Nassirya in Senato, è stato realizzato in collaborazione con Microsoft Italia, che ha messo a disposizione la piattaforma di AI e Almawave per le interfacce conversazionali e la dashboard di analisi.

00:00There are 3 million people in Italy who suffer from disturbance in their eating habits,
00:07a pathology that, according to the Minister of Health, last year led to 3,780 deaths.
00:12From today, thanks to artificial intelligence, it will be possible to help patients and therapists
00:16through MySBAR Diary, the first web app used by the IAEA to help those affected by DCEA,
00:22a foundation project for digital sustainability in collaboration with Microsoft Italy and AlmaWave.
00:27A project like this shows that artificial intelligence is not just something that we have to fear,
00:33but it is something that we can use to help people, to support people who have problems.
00:39A project like this shows how collaboration processes can be developed between the public and the private,
00:44thinking about developing and creating value through that orientation to the give-back
00:49that people and organizations have and can have.
00:52When you develop a project like this, you have to pay great attention to issues such as data,
00:57such as privacy. Artificial intelligence is a great resource,
01:00but it must be used with deep awareness of the risks it poses.
01:03The Foundation for Digital Sustainability studies the ways in which technology
01:07can be used to support sustainable development and, at the same time,
01:11how sustainable development criteria can be used to direct technological evolutions,
01:16but it also develops projects like the one we are presenting today.
01:19Artificial intelligence and its application in the health sector,
01:22made available by Microsoft Italy, is the center of this approach,
01:25which will be tested in the psychotherapy department of the psychiatric services
01:29in Canton Grigioni, Switzerland, and in the ASL company in Bologna.
01:33It is precisely through the use of artificial intelligence solutions that there is an interest in the so-called give-back,
01:39and therefore in giving back to society those innovations that can allow therapists
01:46to support this path of improvement in the field of food disorders
01:53for young people of a fairly young age.
01:59It is a project of great interest, which puts the person at the center as it should be,
02:07which supports it, which helps it in a series of interactions to better understand its path from various points of view.
02:14Patients, through smartphones, will have to enter data on their food behavior
02:19and on what they think could be the trigger.
02:22It will then be the AI that will provide a specific story to the patient,
02:25with which they will be able to identify themselves,
02:27creating a dialogue that leads to the elaboration of a profile of mentalization
02:31that will consequently be sent to the therapist.
02:33Mentalization is this ability to enter the mind of the other
02:43and to be able to understand what their thoughts, emotions and intentions are.
