HEAL-ITALIA / Health Extended ALliance for Innovative Therapies, Advanced Lab-research, and Integrated Approaches of Precision Medicine
HEAL ITALIA brings universities, research hospitals and companies together to advance precision medicine for cancer and cardiovascular, metabolic and rare diseases. Its programme links clinical data, experimental research and technology development to improve individualised diagnosis, prevention and treatment. Research activities include methods for integrating large health datasets, prediction of disease progression and treatment response, and diagnostic approaches that combine clinical and imaging biomarkers. Computational models support the development and validation of personalised therapies, alongside devices for diagnosis and treatment. The programme also investigates prevention using information about environment, lifestyle and clinical characteristics. Clinical validation and the integration of molecular and patient phenotyping with AI-supported decisions are intended to help translate these methods into healthcare practice.
