. SPOKE 2
Personal and remote healthcare
Spoke 2 addresses the development of innovative solutions aimed at the field of healthcare by leveraging expertise in artificial intelligence and robotics.
The goal of Spoke 2 is to create the technological conditions for a shared, connected and personalized care system, by addressing four main challenges: providing home care through the creation of intelligent and interactive environments, fostering the personalization of medical treatments through digital twins, supporting the creation of rehabilitation ecosystems and improving future image-based diagnostics.
The development of innovative devices and technologies and the commercialization of the solutions developed by Spoke 2 will bring added value to hospitals and national health services, benefiting Ligurian and Italian citizens.
