The classic anamnesis, oriented to the disease, tends to consider the patient as the object of the privileged attention of medical science. Especially in the context of general medicine, characterized by a patient-oriented approach, illness histories are used instead, which are more pertinent to a context characterized by subjectivity and objectivity, both biological and biographical paths. Digital technologies, which have so radically changed the doctor-patient relationship, can help to describe in a more exhaustive way the not strictly clinical needs of patients and doctors and provide the possibility of building a new way of interaction and sharing of the objectives of care.
