Systems research, clinical practice and management: the italian road to systems medicine

Systems medicine aims to address the properties of interacting complex systems, from molecules, to psychological, social and environmental dimensions. This novel ecosystemic framework challenges classic medical paradigms based on reductionism, striving to enhance the efficacy of therapies at both the individual patient and individual event level. However, despite to date it has been only initiated at the research level, to be developed, systems medicine still requires an extraordinary interdisciplinary effort also at the clinical and societal levels. In order to address this unmet need, in 2014, 26 experts coming from different disciplines (medicine, psychology, nursing, systems science, epistemology, management, pedagogy, sociology) founded in Italy the first scientific society for Systems Medicine (ASSIMSS). ASSIMSS is working to cooperatively develop an actionable perspective with an interdisciplinary approach at 3 interconnected levels: research, clinical and health care systems management. Indeed, new interdisciplinary scientific tools are needed to be harmonised to obtain new individual taxonomies/ontologies: from quantum approaches to big data mining, from fuzzy inductive reasoning to network science. At the clinical level, new approaches involving all healthcare practitioners are needed to develop truly personalised care encompassing the patients’ subjective world and to obtain patients’ engagement, especially when using highly technological tools. Finally, new specific management strategies are needed to implement personalised care in the real world, to adapt medical education, to ensure a sustainable development and equity. The society is operating in mixed working and task-groups, both at the local and national level, also involving Italian health care authorities.
