The PNRR DARE project, territorial and urban planning, and the role of INFN: An interdisciplinary integration for health and sustainability

Abstract

The Digital Lifelong Prevention (DARE) project is an innovative initiative aimed at improving health prevention and promotion across the lifespan. The project leverages digital technologies and big data to optimize healthcare, focusing on the One Health approach, which integrates human, animal, and environmental health. A central feature of DARE is its interdisciplinary approach, with key contributions from the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), which provides advanced computing infrastructure for big data management. The project’s hub-spoke model promotes collaboration between universities, hospitals, and private companies to create a national digital healthcare ecosystem. By integrating health monitoring, artificial intelligence, and continuous data collection, DARE aims to improve public health policies, environmental sustainability, and indirectly urban planning. The project’s success hinges on its ability to foster innovation and support preventative healthcare.
