Assistive Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Patient Care Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza has taken an initiative to get into the activities of assistive robotics and artificial intelligence in the care sector in partnership with Konica Minolta Inc. and IIT - Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia. They have welcomed Konica Minolta Laboratory Europe to install robotics facility within the hospital. The robotic setup will accompany a patient during their daily routines. Agile Co-Creation for Robots and Aging This project is a European Union and Japan cooperation programme and includes- Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza, Italy, The BioRobotics Institute, Italy, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands, Université Paris-Dauphine, France, TRIALOG Paris, France, Kyoto University, Japan, and Connectdot Ltd, Japan. The aim of this project is to implement robotics and artificial intelligence in assistive healthcare. Research The Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza Hospital is an IRCCS (Istituto di ricovero e cura a carattere scientifico) research centre of Italian Ministry of Health, an institute of national interest, for "Genetic diseases, innovative therapies and regenerative medicine" and received annual funding of 150 Million Euro in 2017. The hospital received IRCCS status in 1991 from the Italian Ministry of Health. There are 146 researchers who are (or were) affiliated with IRCCS Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza contributing to the total research output of more than 6500 publications in the areas of life sciences & medicine so far. It publishes 170 scientific papers per year on average in the areas of life sciences and medicine, and many of them get published in very high-impact factor journals like Nature, New England Journal of Medicine, Lancet and Science. IRCCS Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza maintains direct research collaboration with almost all Italian universities and other IRCCS, and many other academic and corporate institutes outside the Italy like Harvard University, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Hoffmann-La Roche, Gilead Sciences, Biogen, Novartis, University of Sydney, Osaka University and many other research institutes of high-repute
