About us

Founded in 2022 at the heart of the Italian digital healthcare revolution promoted by the PNRR, the DARE Foundation is an innovation catalyst supported by a consortium of 20 public and private entities.

Among the prominent members are:

  • 8 prestigious universities and the INFN, which place scientific research and innovation at the core of their mission.
  • 4 leading research hospitals provide a fertile ground for the development of new techniques and therapies.
  • 6 healthcare companies and a selection of private entities contribute with cutting-edge technological and clinical expertise.

With more than 400 researchers, technologists, and doctors, we work tirelessly to chart new frontiers in health promotion and disease prevention. Our expertise ranges from epidemiology to artificial intelligence, tackling the challenges of future healthcare with determination and passion.

 

Mission and Vision

The DARE Foundation is at the forefront of the healthcare revolution, harnessing the power of digital technology. Our mission is to drive a paradigm shift in healthcare culture, transitioning from a disease- and treatment-centered model to one that prioritizes prevention and community-based medicine throughout a citizen’s lifetime.

By leveraging the latest digital innovations—such as artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, big data analytics, wearable devices, and digital twins—we aim to significantly enhance the speed, accuracy, and effectiveness of healthcare prevention. Our goal is to position Italy as a global leader in digital prevention. This requires building a multidisciplinary knowledge community that develops and shares innovative solutions across technical, ethical-legal, and organizational domains. Through the DARE initiative, we are committed to integrating and optimizing the use of digital technologies in forecasting, monitoring, early detection, and response to health-related conditions, thereby improving public health outcomes for all citizens.
