Italy: opinion about usage of telemedicine 2018
 Telemedicine in Italian pharmacies
On the other hand, Italian pharmacies came across as being well equipped in providing the possibility to take diagnostic tests such as cardiology tests and blood pressure checks from remote. Telecardiology services were quite widespread throughout Italy, with some regional differences. Aosta Valley, Apulia and Marche were the regions where most of pharmacies could provide these kinds of services. Data also suggest that tele-pulmonology, on the other hand, was not so common in Italian pharmacies.

To all appearances the digitalization process of the Italian health sector still needs to be implemented, especially in some fields and regions. Nonetheless, in recent years progresses have been made. The main concern among patients seems to be the lack of humanity that many digital health services, including telemedicine, may bring about.
