Maria Rossi, a 72-year-old retired teacher from Pisa, has long prided herself on being practical and well-organized. Now managing multiple chronic conditions – including a pacemaker, thyroidectomy, and anxiety – she is determined to stay in control of her complex care routines, even if she’s not a fan of new technologies.
After a recent discharge from Massa Monasterio Hospital, Maria needs to share her Hospital Discharge Report (HDR) with a trusted friend who is also a physician. Thanks to the xShare Yellow Button, available through the Monasterio Patient Portal, Maria can do just that.
With support from her daughter, Maria downloads her HDR in a secure format directly from the app and shares it with her friend for additional guidance. Although she still prefers printed prescriptions and phone calls with her GP, this simple action empowers her to manage her care with more confidence—on her own terms.
Maria’s story highlights how the xShare Yellow Button adapts to different levels of digital literacy, enabling older adults to safely access and share their health information with the people they trust most.
From Pisa to the rest of Europe, xShare is proving that citizen-centred digital health is not just for the tech-savvy – but for everyone.
