Abstract: Abstract A paradigm shift in digital technologies is occurring in almost every sector, even though specifically in healthcare it could represent an answer to the main challenges pressing the healthcare system. The system’s fragmentation due to a silos structure implies that information is not adequately integrated across facilities and territory. Innovation through Health 4.0 is crucial to improve data flow, customize the clinicians-patients relationship through remote human touch, and focus the process on patients. From the patients’ perspective, new technologies can also be used to improve the level of awareness related to health and support decision-making. Digitization is a lever to activate the transformative process aimed at overcoming the main healthcare gaps enabling value cocreation and patient centricity.
