This report illustrates the results of the development and submission of a survey proposed by the National Centre for Innovative Technologies in Public Health and the National Centre for Rare Diseases of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità with the aim of investigating the state of use of technologies by people with frailty, disabilities and rare diseases. The online questionnaire received 350 responses during the submission interval (15 September – 30 November 2020). A first result is represented by the electronic survey tool, developed with simple and effective electronic tools based on Microsoft Forms made available to ISS users and used during the pandemic, but useful with simple upgrades also in other periods. A second result is represented by a first overall picture relating to the state of use of technologies by citizens with fragility, disabilities and rare diseases. The third result consists in the interpretation of the data and in the analysis of the emerged needs that make us reflect on the current state of the art and offer important stimuli for all the stakeholders involved. Some future developments include further datamining.
