Telemedicine: Enel X and Fondazione Policlinico A. Gemelli IRCCS Sign an Agreement With Aon to Promote Personalized and Digital Health Care Programs Through the Smart Axistance E-well Platform

ROME, Italy, April 8 -- Enel, a natural gas distribution company, issued the following news release:

Bringing telemedicine to the heart of corporate welfare to promote people's well-being and to help them adopt a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. This is the aim of the agreement that Enel X Italia and Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS have signed with Aon.

As a result of this partnership, the leading group in Italy and worldwide in risk and human resources consultancy, insurance and reinsurance brokerage, will be able to give its network of companies the access to the Smart Axistance e-Well service, a corporate wellness governance program developed by Enel X and the Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli with the aim of offering personalized and digital health care plans, integrated with the traditional medical check-up. Aon will provide its participating customers with the necessary tools to manage the service.

"With Smart Axistance e-Well, we are putting our technological capacity at the service of social innovation, achieving a twofold objective: to spread a new welfare model based on people's psychophysical wellbeing and to encourage the development of telemedicine, which is fundamental for making healthcare affordable for everyone" commented Francesco Venturini, Head of Enel X. "Specifically, the program helps us to concretely improve people's lives and promote healthy and sustainable lifestyles, in line with our mission. This agreement, signed with a group as large as Aon, will soon be followed by others that will show our commitment, together with the Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli, and alongside national and international players, to bring innovation to companies through increasingly flexible and personalized e-Health services"

"The Smart Axistance e-Well project marks Policlinico Gemelli's entry into the era in which telemedicine is no longer an exercise linked to the provision of specific services, but a tool that expands, enhances and integrates our entire health offer" said Marco Elefanti, General Manager of the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRRCS. "It has entailed the ad hoc development of clinical protocols, a dedicated organizational model and full integration of the platform in our information ecosystem. All with a clear objective: to develop a wellness and clinical governance model that allows users to enjoy the benefits of a wellness and prevention plan continuously tailored to their needs, accompanying them on a daily basis and with the possibility for constant discussion and contact with our clinical specialists. The agreement with Aon demonstrates our desire to offer companies this added value and make welfare a modern and effective tool for improving people's lives and health"

"People's health and well-being have always been at the heart of Aon's value proposition. Telemedicine services, which we have been offering for a long time both through our proprietary corporate welfare platforms and as stand-alone services with qualified healthcare facilities at discounted prices, have grown dramatically since the pandemic broke out," added Andrea Parisi, CEO of Aon S.p.A. "Aon will continue to develop new solutions in this area to increasingly meet people's needs in the field of health and promote a culture of prevention."

Smart Axistance e-Well provides a personalized wellness program with the remote support of doctors at Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS and through an app, designed by Enel X, which offers total security and respect for data protection. The program lasts at least a year and starts for participants with a classic full medical check-up carried out in person at the Policlinico Gemelli or other affiliated healthcare facilities in Italy. Their initial state of well-being is assessed on the basis of a scientifically recognized clinical protocol, specifically developed by the Policlinico Gemelli, based on five reference areas: stress, physical activity, diet, sleep and smoking. On the basis of the results of the checkup, doctors from Gemelli agree on a personalized wellness plan with members, including a diet, and can check, over the months, on the progress made using the app and the associated smart band and by carrying out periodic tele-visits on the Smart Axistance e-Well platform.

Companies can add additional in-person visits with full flexibility to this basic wellness package, further customizing the service. In addition, during this program, people also have the possibility to book additional specialized tele-visits to meet their specific needs.
