(Adnkronos) - “Questo progetto nasce a causa del problema dei sintomi silenti. Purtroppo, questa è una malattia che si insinua nel nostro quotidiano in maniera subdola e inizialmente i pazienti non riescono a rendersi conto dell'insorgenza di questi sintomi e delle difficoltà. Di conseguenza, abbiamo sviluppato l'idea di avere uno strumento diagnostico basato sul quotidiano che consenta al paziente di fornire dei dati utili al medico. Lo afferma Arpaia, direttore Centro Dipartimentale Federico II per le Nuove Tecnologie in Sanità, nel corso del 54° Congresso della Società italiana di neurologia (Sin), in svolgimento a Roma fino al 12 novembre, durante il quale Merck ha consegnato il premio innovazione digitale in neurologia, giunto alla sua sesta edizione.

00:00I am grateful to Merck for this recognition and I would like to point out that as a director I represent an institute, but obviously there is a group behind this idea.
00:16This originates from the well-known problem of silent symptoms.
00:23Unfortunately, this is a disease that is ingrained in our daily lives in a sudden way.
00:31At the beginning we can't realize, the patients can't realize the fact that these symptoms and difficulties arise.
00:41So the idea that came to us is simple. First of all, to have a diagnostic tool based on everyday life that allows the patient, without too much boredom, to provide useful data to the therapist, to the doctor.
00:56The idea is simple. It originates from the cell phone. This is an object that is now deeply and intimately connected to our personal life.
01:05Often we demonize it even in the younger generations.
01:09As always, we researchers try to take advantage of the opportunity, not the problem.
01:15The opportunity is simple. Instead of using dedicated apps that bore the patient,
01:21from the daily interaction with the apps already born in the cell phone, sending an SMS, WhatsApp, writing messages,
01:32the patient, who has these silent symptoms, obviously experiences difficulties.
01:38Small hiccups, delays, difficulty in digesting.
01:42The artificial intelligence inside the cell phone realizes this difficulty and provides useful support to the doctor.
01:54So, as always, in our actions of technology, innovation and medicine, the patient is in the first place and then the doctor next to him.
02:03Technology at the service of man.
