Milan, Italy Nov 12, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Preventive healthcare in Italy is changing. Beyond traditional check-ups at the clinic, people can now access a growing ecosystem of digital platforms, at-home diagnostics, wearable devices and health programmes integrated into corporate welfare schemes. These are among the findings of an initial mapping by <a href="https://robin.health/">Robin Health</a> of organisations operating in Italy in prevention, early diagnosis and health management.
The organisations mapped include Robin Health, Qura, Empatica, Medicilio, Lab Evo, Carol, Health Italia, Health Triage and SynDiag. The full list can be found below.
The review of Italy’s prevention ecosystem reveals four key shifts: from occasional check-ups to continuous monitoring through digital platforms and wearables; from healthcare facilities to at-home services, including sample collection, tests, consultations and telemedicine; from the individual patient to the workplace, with check-ups and health programmes incorporated into corporate welfare schemes; and from general prevention to more specialised pathways, particularly in oncology, metabolic health and early diagnosis.
The mapping highlights a prevalence of general check-ups, cancer prevention, metabolic health and at-home diagnostics, delivered by a mix of digital health start-ups, welfare platforms, hospitals and healthcare providers. Technology is primarily being used to enable earlier diagnosis, collect data over time and bring part of the care pathway outside traditional healthcare facilities.
“Prevention doesn’t end with a check-up: there needs to be continuity between medical appointments and people’s everyday lives. With this mapping, we wanted to provide an initial snapshot of the organisations in Italy working towards this goal through different services and models. Bringing healthcare closer to people, however, does not automatically make it accessible to everyone. The challenge is to ensure that technology and new services help build continuous prevention pathways that are integrated with the work of healthcare professionals and can also reach those who are currently excluded,” says Giacomo De Lorenzo, CEO and Co-Founder of Robin Health.
The services mapped are primarily aimed at individuals, but the corporate channel is playing a growing role, helping transform employee welfare from a collection of occasional benefits into a continuous prevention programme. Innovation is making prevention more convenient and accessible in practical terms, but not necessarily more universal: many of the services mapped are private or provided through employers and insurers.
This issue intersects with data on access to care in Italy. According to Istat’s 2026 BES Report, in 2025, 9.6% of the population, more than 5.6 million people, went without at least one medical consultation or diagnostic test despite needing it, up from 8.1% in 2017. The main reasons were waiting lists (6.5%) and the cost of services (5.2%). Between 2023 and 2024, the proportion of people who paid the full cost of their most recent healthcare service also rose from 19.9% to 23.9%.
