The aim of this work is the evaluation of a relatively new intervention for chronic patients in Italy, namely the PAI, i.e., "Piano Assistenziale Individuale" (Individual Care Plan). It is a service based on the paradigm of the personalised medicine, which should optimize several aspects of the individual care, such as patients' compliance to therapy, ease of access to care delivery, and a tighter monitoring of the patient's status on the long run. The expected outcomes from the PAI introduction are both the improvement of the patients' status and reduction of costs for the care provider. A case-control study has been performed, involving more than 20000 patients, and preliminary results seem to confirm the effectiveness of the new service, in particular by reducing patients' access to hospital and emergency room.

Advanced driving-assistance systems (ADAS) have become more popular and received more aid in automotive business. ADAS systems evolution requires more efforts to prepare efficient and reliable systems. Because of safety restrictions we need to validate systems by driving over several million kilometers in different conditions. That is why research, development and verification processes are highly required. The best solution to solve this problem are computer simulations. Application of digital scenarios saves time, money and human resources. There are many simulators which are developed by automotive companies. In our paper we would like to present set of simulators which are used to simulate and validate camera sensors, control and path planning algorithms for ADAS. Our tools are able to simulate/emulate vehicle components and road environment elements. However, mainly in case of ADAS systems this is a difficult task. Our paper presents approaches the methodology of virtual simulations [1].

Cutaneous erythema is used in diagnosis and response assessment of cutaneous chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). The development of objective erythema evaluation methods remains a challenge. We used a pre-trained neural network to segment cGVHD erythema by detecting changes relative to a patient's registered baseline photo. We fixed this change detection algorithm on human annotations from a single photo pair, by using either a traditional approach or by marking definitely affected ("Do Not Miss", DNM) and definitely unaffected skin ("Do Not Include", DNI). The fixed algorithm was applied to each of the remaining 47 test photo pairs from six follow-up sessions of one patient. We used both the Dice index and the opinion of two board-certified dermatologists to evaluate the algorithm performance. The change detection algorithm correctly assigned 80% of the pixels, regardless of whether it was fixed on traditional (median accuracy: 0.77, interquartile range 0.62-0.87) or DNM/DNI segmentations (0.81, 0.65-0.89). When the algorithm was fixed on markings by different annotators, the DNM/DNI achieved more consistent outputs (median Dice indices: 0.94-0.96) than the traditional method (0.73-0.81). Compared to viewing only rash photos, the addition of baseline photos improved the reliability of dermatologists' scoring. The inter-rater intraclass correlation coefficient increased from 0.19 (95% confidence interval lower bound: 0.06) to 0.51 (lower bound: 0.35). In conclusion, a change detection algorithm accurately assigned erythema in longitudinal photos of cGVHD. The reliability was significantly improved by exclusively using confident human segmentations to fix the algorithm. Baseline photos improved the agreement among two dermatologists in assessing algorithm performance.
