In the coming years, Mobile technology is going to significantly change the relationship between citizens and healthcare even at the international level.
This is due to an explosion of costs due, on the one hand, to the progressive growth of aging and chronic diseases and, on the other, to the availability of highly-motivated health-care technologies, resulting in the need for organizational models capable of redesigning services and Pathways that allow you to state a 'total' view of the person who has a health problem.

Nowadays, a modern citizen is available to research and evaluate alternatives for the management of his / her well-being, accustomed to a model of on-line services that he already uses in other areas (reservation, payment and online download, chat, 24x7 information availability), capable To adapt and change their lifestyle in a technology-based prevention logic.

The availability of new technological opportunities, including those made available by ICT innovation, which today is largely pervasive in healthcare and which can enable the creation of new organizational strategies needed to ensure continuity of care and services.
  
Today, the horizon widens, involving in this process communication things (devices), processes, data (health and non) and people (clients and professionals).

With new technologies, we are referring to a new model of social-health care-oriented, patient-centered patient-oriented healthcare model, stimulated and implemented through 'strong' patient-citizen proactivity and achieved through the use of mobile devices and Multichannel technologies such as cell phones, smartphones, patient monitoring devices, personal computers and other wireless devices.

Thanks to this new model of care, a collection of data and information can be collected that can enable the citizen to proactively manage his / her health, to better interact with the health care teams who have taken care of him, to provide information about Line teams for follow-up patients for more effective and shared interventions with the patient, reducing spatial, temporal and organizational barriers, as well as for better, more effective and efficient territorial assistance continuity.

As anticipated in the premise, health systems are facing two major challenges:
- On the one hand, the explosion of costs due to the progressive growth of the elderly population and chronic diseases as well as the availability of highly-motivated health-enhancing technologies.
The consequence is the need to adopt organizational models capable of redesigning services and pathways that will provide a 'total' view of the person who has a health problem.
In order to manage, in fact, these issues become more and more necessary, multi-professional interventions that take place in different moments and places and depend on the outcome of the diagnostic-therapeutic-assistance process.
- On the other hand, the citizen who is increasingly available to seek out service excellence, to evaluate alternatives for the management of his / her well-being, accustomed to a model of on-line and on-time services that he already uses in other areas.

All this will be seen by contributing to a greater focus on the patient's care path by imaging a transversal process that arises and develops in different times and places (territory, hospital, return to territorial healthcare structures) thus improving overall system efficiency For example, improving patient care by better planning activities, allowing remote support and thus reducing hospitalization).

Only in recent years has emerged the complementary mode of delivering performance and health-enhancing services and care processes through the spread of connectivity and proliferation of devices such as smartphones and tablets, electrically mobile.

The most meaningful applications in this regard range from the simplest, already widespread ones, such as SMS visitor 'reminders, monitored vitality parameters captured by mobile devices, emergency management, and' compliance 'verification in recruitment Medications, more efficient healthcare management to promote healthy lifestyles, and personalized treatments.

Over the years, Administration's Center has developed innovative technologies in the healthcare area, with its own studies, tests and investments, and has been able to develop a project that will enable a continuous 'Triangular' dialogue between Patient, Medical and Medical Devices, along with information Essential for monitoring aid even at the distance of applied therapies.
MEDICLOK is the director of this application process, through predefined time intervals it manages the communication with the patient, the timing control of the drug therapy to be administered, the programmed vital parameter monitoring and the remote communication of the information to doctors, Family, nursing homes and anyway to anyone who knows the patient and who can also intervene in emergencies.
MEDICLOK is not content to only record the information of values ​​and events detected, but with its application software performs a first analysis of the values, and in the event of inconsistencies or investigations to be investigated, it automatically reports to the related referrals. The device also performs normal telephone reception and call functions, so the assistant can at any time make calls for emergency, assistance, or otherwise. The instrument thus becomes a reason for greater psychological tranquility for those who use it.
Phone calls can be Video so that the conversation with the Doctor becomes more direct allowing the patient to show the doctor any specific requests on both drugs and on likely contraindications that have arisen during administration.
MEDICLOK may transmit the data collected in the various surveys and send them to the designated medical facilities. This device facilitates data collection mode that would be expensive, uncomfortable or impossible to obtain by traditional means.
Data can be collected on specific days, at specific times, during specific activities, or on a trip.
MEDICLOK uses biosensor connections to obtain information such as pulse oximetry (SpO2), heart rate, electrocardiogram (ECG), non-invasive blood pressure (PNI), which are sent via Bluetooth to an interactive control device such as Tablet Pc. Data can then be downloaded to an electronic storage device or transmitted to a server, doctor's office, or hospital. Modular biosensors can be added or removed as needed with software protocol integration in the control device.

The Device does not require any particular electronic or system infrastructure but it is based on a solution with Bluetooth / Wifi and GSM / Gprs technology.
Currently, this project envisages the use of three different devices with applicable software applications. Tablet PC, Smart Phone and Smart Watch, all with the Android operating system, but in the future they can also be migrated to the IOS platform

For this project we have achieved the Industrial Innovation Patent and registered the corresponding Trademark.
