Mission and Vision

The DARE Foundation focuses on digital prevention. DARE is at the forefront of the healthcare revolution through the power of digital technology. Our mission is to drive a paradigm shift in healthcare culture, moving from a model focused on illness and treatment to one that prioritises prevention and community-based medicine throughout every stage of a citizen’s life.
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 involves creating a multidisciplinary knowledge community that develops and shares innovative solutions across technical, ethical-legal, and organisational domains.
Through the DARE initiative, we are committed to integrating and optimising the use of digital technologies in the prediction, surveillance, early detection, and response to health-related conditions, thereby improving public health outcomes for all citizens.
