Together towards the medicine of the future. Fifth edition

How can we make people more aware of the value of major innovations in the world of healthcare? How can artificial intelligence support doctors with regard to the medicine of the future? How can we raise awareness of some important diseases, using language that young people can relate to?

These are the new challenges of Fattore J, in its renewed commitment with Johnson & Johnson Innovative Medicine Italia to make young people aware of the value of scientific progress for the health, well-being and quality of life of all, making them fully responsible for their own choices, with a One Health perspective.

The aim of the initiative, now in its fifth year, is to create a real educational ecosystem on the topic of health based on a strong social commitment, focusing on the importance of prevention, therapeutic innovation and equal access to treatment for all patients, key issues for people's well-being and for the development of our country as a whole.

  • Local events
  • Let's discover the excellence of our country: various awareness-raising meetings aimed at young people are being held in person at the main hospitals and university polyclinics in the regions of Lombardy, Lazio, Emilia Romagna and Campania to discover case histories and innovative applications of health research. The first appointment, on the occasion of the launch event of the new edition, is on 3 December 2024 at the National Cancer Institute in Milan.

  • Volunteering with expertise: J&J experts guide students in the Milan and Latina offices on a journey of discovery of the drug.
  • Health Bot. Second edition of the creative contest to design and prototype robotic and artificial intelligence solutions for healthcare. Teams of high school students present their prototypes to a jury of experts at the Rome Cup 2025 (University of Rome 3, 7-9 May 2025).

The topics of Fattore J are in harmony with the ‘existential challenge’ that Mario Draghi mentioned in his report on the future of Europe's competitiveness in September 2024. Health has (and will have) an increasingly crucial role in the well-being of citizens and the general growth of the country. Why not start from the choices our children make today to positively influence the conditions in which we will live tomorrow?

The four editions in brief
  • School year 2020-21 ‘Empathy, respect and inclusion’: the project was conceived as the first curriculum of the Italian school to educate young people to develop emotional intelligence, respect and empathy towards people who are experiencing serious hardship or are suffering from illness. The onset of the health emergency transformed online collaboration platforms into a tool for recognising and expressing emotions, acknowledging one's own or others' state of distress and finding the best way to ask for help.
  • School year 2021-22In the hands of science’: the aim is to raise awareness of the importance of correct scientific information and the choice of responsible behaviour for the well-being and health of all.
  • School year 2022-23 ‘More trust, more health, more future’: with this project we have entered even more deeply into the heart of healthcare, to discover together the circular nature of health with a One Health approach.
  • School year 2023-2024 ‘A learning ecosystem for health and well-being’: the objective is to create a real educational ecosystem on the topic of health based on a strong social commitment, focussing on the importance of prevention, therapeutic innovation and equal access to treatment for all patients, key issues for people's well-being and for the development of our entire country.

Con due anni di didattica a distanza alle spalle, i ragazzi sono scollati, scompaiono... Fattore J è per noi una cambio di rotta, un punto fermo, uno strumento di unione e riflessione. Quando ci colleghiamo per ascoltare le testimonianze e le formazioni di Fattore J, vedo che la classe ci sta! È coinvolta. Ed è questo che mi serve adesso, coinvolgere i ragazzi, farli sentire uniti emotivamente, parte di un gruppo. Nell’incertezza totale di questo momento Fattore J per noi rappresenta il legame possibile.
