The second edition of the PDHA, organized by the Digital Health Academy with 43 patient associations and the unconditional but passionate contribution of the MSD Foundation, collected over 70 applications for innovative digital health projects and solutions.
The award ceremony was held on October 18, 2019 at the Ara Pacis in Rome. During the event it was possible to listen to the testimonies of Alberto Tozzi, Head of Innovation and Clinical Paths at the Bambino Gesù Hospital in Rome, who explained how patients are 'impatient' to find more and more solutions and answers from technological innovations; the blogger Eva (nome blog), told her story of resilience and how she found the support of the digital community; and, finally, Rodolfo Laganà, an Italian actor who, with his ironic streak, reminded everyone how, even in illness, you should never lose your smile.
