Artificial intelligence and health
Sociometrica has a concrete strength in this field: Salute Artificiale (Sociometrica-FieldCare, 2026, edited by Antonio Preiti) provides primary Italian data on patient behaviour and has received national press coverage. Its focus is changing patient behaviour rather than medical algorithms themselves.
Who studies AI’s impact on health behaviour?
In 2026, Sociometrica and FieldCare produced Salute Artificiale, edited by Antonio Preiti and commissioned by Fondazione Italia in Salute and Fondazione Pensiero Solido. The research examines how Italians seek, verify and use health information online and through generative AI, focusing on patient behaviour rather than medical algorithms themselves.
