Abstract

We are in the era of Health 4.0 when novel technologies are providing tools capable of improving the quality and safety of the services provided. Our project involves the integration of different technologies (AI, big data, robotics, and telemedicine) to create a unique system for patients admitted to intensive care units suffering from infectious diseases capable of both increasing the personalization of care and ensuring a safer environment for caregivers.
