The digital revolution, the precision medicine and the rise of the so-called "new over 75 patients" require us to reconsider and integrate the EBM paradigm. The key word of this transformation is the personalization of the illness and cure path. Narrative medicine can speed this process by providing both the theory frameworks and the methodologies for an integration of biomedical and biographical aspects, of typologies and individuals, of guidelines and clinical intuition. The digital technologies can facilitate and leverage the use of narrative medicine in clinical practice and the integration of quantitative and narrative data.
Keywords: Narrative medicine, digital health, elderly patient, personalisation.
