AGI – Theartificial intelligence as a mechanism for the sustainable development of society with practical and positive results even in increasingly suffering worlds, first of all health. It is a shared message from the Caduti di Nassirya room of the Senate launched by experts from the innovation galaxy and legislators (from FdI to Pd) gathered for the launch of “mySMART diary“, or digital food diary. It is a web application – the world’s first – created by Foundation for Digital Sustainability to support psychologists, psychiatrists and child neuropsychiatrists to improve the condition of patients suffering from eating disorders (DCA).
The application – from tomorrow he will work in the psychotherapy department of the psychiatric services of the Canton of Grisons (Switzerland) and in the Regional Health Authority of Bologna – thus becomes the end of a positive path. The gap between public and private politics is also being watched with interest, where artificial intelligence places itself at the service of the community. In this case to support doctors who treat young people with eating disorders. The pathology that has progressed in recent years and affects young people between the ages of 12 and 14 at an increasing age. In Italy – these are data from the Ministry of Health – it is estimated that up to 3 million people suffer from food diseases. In 2023, 3,780 deaths related to this disease were recorded the second leading cause of death among young peopleimmediately after road accidents.
The main function offered by the web application is equivalent to creating a kind of ‘Digital Food Journal’. The patient can actually use their mobile phone to observe their behavior about food, showing what emotion is causing it (a fight, internal conflict). The kind of eating behavior, triggering event and feeling that creates the “trigger” that activates the Wisdom Consciousness. The latter suggests that the user reads a specific story, selected based on previously provided information, taken from fairy tales or episodes of television series on the subject. The AI then invites the user to understand the main meaning of the story and, then, to identify with the characters and think about what he would do in their place.
Through this discussion, Artificial Intelligence develops an understanding of the information written by the patient and manages to develop a “perception” profile, i.e. the ability of people to understand their own thoughts and emotions, and the thoughts of people who they do too. Profile of “advice” It is then available and displayed on the physician’s dashboard, who can compare it with clinical impressions and assessments, thus simplifying his work. This is how a relationship (between patient and doctor) is established and revived, even at a distance. “We are sure that to develop such a service – he explained to AGI Stefano EpifaniThe President of the Foundation for digital sustainability – a way of collaboration between various social actors is needed: universities, companies, the world of research and politics. If today the way to restart the social value of technology as a tool to support people is not based on politics, we work with one hand tied behind our back. ”
Politics – it emerged from the conference – is ready to reach the world of innovation. “It’s an important initiative – it’s subject to AGI, Ignazio ZulloThe head of the FdI group at the Social Security Council in Palazzo Madama – because when we talk about artificial intelligence we are in doubt whether it will bring benefits or whether it will be used for something beneficial or even malicious. This application points us to the need for predictive medicine. When politics is not an argument or negative opposition but a meeting and discussion, we move forward quickly. Giorgia Meloni – finally remembered the FdI MP – was the first to take this issue into his own hands, we saw at the G7 in Puglia that he gave an understanding of the humanity of AI which is not only technology but also supports people “.
“Here we have a world of innovation – he noted in conversation with AGI, Simona Malpezzi, Senator of the Democratic Party and Vice President of the bicameral committee on Children and Youth – who has devoted himself to the work of health to lend a hand to deal with the very important problem of eating disorders which represent the second reason of today. death for our youth, therefore, we need a very strong intervention. The fact that these united worlds have encouraged politics to listen to them to ensure that this project overcomes some problems in the ground I think is a good step. When you triangulate you never go wrong.” Malpezzi then explained that “there are parliamentary documents that aim to encourage awareness of eating disorders. The issue of lack of resources is addressed, on which we must all examine our conscience, then there are no general guidelines for all Regions. Finally, there is the issue of regulations starting from Europe: if you use digital at an advanced level there are immediate blocks because the regulations are unclear. I think these are the three things that politics can provide answers to. ”
The web application “MySMART Diary” was created in collaboration with Microsoft Italywhich makes the Artificial intelligence platform available and also Almawavewhich develops the application, the communication interfaces it creates on its platform, and the analysis dashboard. The project is also possible thanks to the contribution of Deda.Next, DXC Technology Italia, R1 Group and Sopra Steria, partners of the General State of Digital Sustainability, an initiative of the Foundation for Digital Sustainability that supports CIOs of companies public service. and private companies understand how digital transformation can support sustainability.
