Social Good

SCOPE:
The emergency resulting from the COVID 19 pandemic has led to a radical
change in our lives. At home, at school, at work, in free time and beyond:
people have been asked to change their habits, adopting a lifestyle that
can protect the collective well-being. The persistence of the emergency
situation and the lockdown is putting a strain on the population; among the
main problems, we cite social distancing for the most vulnerable
individuals, distance learning for children, health pressure for doctors
and patients, forced closures for traders, the uncontrolled spread of fake
news that confuse the population, the tourism stop that hinders culture,
etc.

The ongoing change requires the adoption of innovative solutions to tackle
emerging problems and technology offers great opportunities for social
good. The whole society can make use of technological tools to the health,
physical, mental and psychological well-being safeguard of individuals. The
