SOCIALIT SOFTWARE E CONSULTING SRL

Their core work

Socialit is a Trento-based software and consulting SME that builds digital tools and interfaces for health and wellbeing applications, particularly targeting ageing populations and care transitions. Their work focuses on developing interactive systems — including projected and tangible interfaces — that support rehabilitation, independent living, and co-creation between patients and care providers. They bring software engineering and user-experience expertise to EU health research consortia, translating clinical needs into usable technology solutions.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Socialit began in 2015 with applied software development for elderly care interoperability (UNCAP), then moved into more ambitious interactive interface design for health coaching (CAPTAIN, 2017–2021). Their most recent project (VITALISE, 2021–2024) marks a shift toward research infrastructure — specifically living labs for health and wellbeing, with emphasis on co-creation and rehabilitation. The trajectory shows a move from building care applications to building the platforms and environments where such applications are designed and tested.

Socialit is moving upstream from application development to research infrastructure and living lab platforms, positioning itself as a technology enabler for health innovation ecosystems.

How they like to work

Socialit operates exclusively as a participant, never coordinating projects, which suggests they serve as a specialist technology contributor rather than a project leader. With 46 unique partners across 21 countries from just 3 projects, they work in large, diverse consortia — typical for RIA/IA health projects. This makes them an experienced, low-friction partner comfortable integrating into big international teams.

Despite only 3 projects, Socialit has collaborated with 46 distinct partners across 21 countries, giving them a broad European network concentrated in health and assistive technology research. Their reach spans most of the EU, reflecting the large consortium sizes typical of health-sector RIA projects.

What sets them apart

Socialit combines software development skills with deep domain knowledge in health, ageing, and rehabilitation — a combination that's rarer than it sounds among Italian tech SMEs. Their progression from care applications to living lab infrastructure means they understand both the end-user technology and the research environments where it gets validated. For consortium builders, they offer a reliable software partner who already knows the health research landscape and can hit the ground running.

Highlights from their portfolio
