Alzheimer's: What can design do to help? A discussion between the University of San Marino, the ISS, cooperatives, and associations.

A round table discussion at the University on the topic: "Itanium can become a privileged place for experimentation."

Already engaged for two years in a process that has seen the creation of care products and projects dedicated to those suffering from Alzheimer's, the University of the Republic of San Marino was at the center of an event that laid the foundations for extending and expanding its already established collaborations in the region, starting with those with the Institute for Social Security (ISS) and the San Marino Association for Cerebral Aging Pathologies (ASSPIC).

Giorgio Dall'Osso, professor of the Design degree program, confirmed this. He participated in a roundtable discussion on Thursday, March 12th, which brought together academics, doctors, and other professionals working in the sector at the university's Ancient Monastery of Santa Chiara, in the historic center of Mount Titano: "The initiative," he explained, "allowed us to take stock of what has been done so far and understand the further development that can be achieved through collaboration between organizations involved in research, training, assistance, and other types of support."

Speakers included Daniela Maurer and Mirco Piccin, who run the Product Design Lab for the Master's Degree in Design at the University of San Marino; Mara Demurtas, an educator at the ITACA Social Cooperative, which has been managing social, healthcare, and educational services since 1992; Susanna Guttmann, director of the Neurology Unit at the ISS; and Arolda Ranocchini, president of ASSPIC.

"Thanks to its small size," Dall'Osso adds, "the Titano can become a privileged testing ground for developing and implementing specific projects that, in collaboration with the University's partners, can be implemented for the benefit of patients, families, and entire communities."
