Giovanni Rinaldi Editor

Giovanni Rinaldi is a physics graduate who has long been engaged in the study of the relationship between new technologies and medical practice. He has conducted a number of research projects in the field of telemedicine in cardiology and eHealth. Currently his main research area is the mechanism of acquisition of clinical information for the purpose of better medical decision making and the modifying impacts of new technologies and eHealth on the doctor–patient relationship. He analyzes how medical records, starting from the perspective of narrative medicine, can be integrated with genetic and environmental data and analyzed by complex algorithms. His research is conducted according to co-production principles in which the needs of practitioners are taken into account from the outset rather than being the end point at which technology is applied.
