TS4.0 represents the meeting point between the health system, research and the territory, becoming the instrument of cohesion between the guidelines of health planning, the innovation needs expressed by the Provincial Health Service and the opportunities offered by research and new digital technologies [1]. The TS4.0 initiative responds to the need to fill the gap between planning, research and actual implementation of innovative solutions on digital healthcare to support the local Healthcare Trust while empowering Citizens for better management of their own health in Trentino Region in a sustainable way. The Center active from 2017 responds to the objectives set by policy makers and local, national and European health planning, starting from the needs expressed by health professionals and citizens, identifying new organizational models and technological solutions, studying the legal aspects and evaluating their socio-organizational and economic impact of digital health initiatives. The ultimate goal is to transform the technical-organizational solutions tested into innovative services for the healthcare sector. The Province of Trento allocated a start-up fund of 1,350,000 Euros for the three-year period 2017-2019.
