PRAESIIDIUM Special Issue.

We are pleased to launch a Special Issue entirely dedicated to PRAESIIDIUM, a project funded by the Horizon Europe program. This bilingual publication (Italian and English) will be widely disseminated through the websites and newsletters of project partners and stakeholders, aiming to reach a broad and diverse audience.

The goal of this Special Issue is to communicate PRAESIIDIUM’s innovative contributions in an accessible and engaging way—making complex topics understandable even to non-specialists.

Articles will be published monthly, authored by project partners, and will explore the various aspects of PRAESIIDIUM – an ambitious initiative focused on the prevention of type 2 diabetes, a disease that represents the second leading cause of death globally and causes significant suffering when not fatal.

PRAESIIDIUM adopts a groundbreaking approach: identifying the key biological, biochemical, and clinical indicators of the prediabetic phase—the critical transition from health to disease. The project aims to deliver personalised, actionable recommendations to help people adjust their nutrition and physical activity habits, thereby reducing the risk of developing the disease.

The Special Issue will also feature a series of articles by project partners, who will share insights into their roles, the challenges they face, and the objectives they are working toward. Topics will include the use of Artificial Intelligence for early disease prediction, the integration of medical technologies in healthcare, and the evolving role of clinicians in a tech-enhanced environment.

Special attention will also be given to ethical considerations, particularly how PRAESIIDIUM ensures that technological advancement goes hand in hand with respect for human dignity and patient-centered values.

In the articles, the project partners will present their roles, the challenges they face, and the goals of their work. They will discuss the use of Artificial Intelligence and predictive models for the early detection of type 2 diabetes; the role of digital medical technologies that incorporate AI; and the central importance of physicians in a context where technological innovation is increasingly present. Ethical issues will also be addressed, emphasizing how the PRAESIIDIUM project places the respect for patients’ humanity at the heart of every action.

The first article, downloadable below, by researchers Claudia Maltoni and Giulia Masetti, presents PRAESIIDIUM from the initial design to the definition of innovative elements, exploitation actions and ethical considerations.
