Abstract
The healthcare domain represents a field where the territorial intelligence and ICT can be profitably combined to strengthen the skills of a territory, to understand its phenomena, to interpret local dynamics concerning the ordinary arrangement as well as extraordinary phenomena involving patients, institutions and organizations. The results presented in this paper are addressed to face the challenges of territory sustainable development, encouraging mutualisation and cooperative exploitation of information between individuals and communities. In particular, the main goal of the research carried out within the healthcare domain is to provide patients with personalized services based on a technology with a limited invasive effect, through the experimentation of new solutions meant to share information and integrate software components. The process model discussed in this paper and the derived application, MyDDiary, represent a concrete modality of interrelationships among territorial actors devoted to the patients’ empowerment.

There exists a strong relationship between diabetes and celiac disease. They are both autoimmune diseases and it is rather frequent that people suffering from an autoimmune disease have a particular predisposition to develop other ones.
