Biography

Roberto Ascione is the first-born son of Antonio, a prominent Italian hepatologist and descendant, from his mother's side, of Raffaele Viviani; and Paola Scialoja, a Communication Sciences professor at Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples.

He tried the university studies at University of Naples Federico II, where he studied Biological Sciences and Medicine between 1992-1999. While a medical student, he became progressively engaged with the connections between digital technology, medicine and communication sciences, and started to think about way to impact healthcare more largely as an individual physician. In 1997, he founded in Naples the first Healthware company, whose name derived from the merging of the words "Health(care)" and "(soft)ware". This startup company provided consulting services in the newborn field of health tech, and became progressively active in the field of digitalization of health records.

Building on the success of the first years, the company expanded to the pharmaceutical marketing services industry, achieving both international expansion and a progressively stronger reputation in the field. In order to sustain Healthware growth, in 2001 Ascione moved his company from Naples to Salerno, in near proximity with the local university faculties of Informatics and Communication Sciences.
