Digital Wellbeing 2025: Tech Revolution at the Spas

1. Artificial Intelligence and Personalized Wellbeing

The true wellness revolution of 2025 is the total personalization of the experience, thanks to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive algorithms:

• Virtual Wellness Coach: Some platforms, such as Virtuagym, Fitpass, and Shapeme, offer virtual assistants that create and adapt workouts/exercises and wellness routines in real-time based on the user's progress, preferences, ailments, or health goals.

• Integrated Biometric Analysis: Wearable sensors connected to cloud platforms (such as Garmin Venu, Apple Health, Oura) measure heart rate, stress, sleep quality, postural data and aggregate them to offer suggestions for physical activity, meditation, saunas, or massages best suited to the moment.

• In-facility Digital Check-ups: In the most innovative thermal centers, touch stations or smart mirrors allow guests to independently perform a body composition assessment or receive suggestions on personalized programs without directly consulting an operator.

2. Digital Nutrition and Prevention

• Genetic testing and nutrigenomics: Services like DNAfit and Salusnet integrate genetic test results to create personalized diets and wellness protocols, highlighting predispositions to deficiencies or intolerances and suggesting optimal foods and treatments.

• Food tracking apps and smart suggestions: Artificial intelligence suggests menu combinations in restaurants and proposes recipes for apartment guests based on collected data, with a focus on sustainability and local supply chains.

3. Immersive Fitness, AR/VR, and Wearables

• Immersive gym experiences: Virtual reality/AR (e.g., Les Mills Virtual, Icaros) transforms fitness with 3D scenarios, virtual group lessons, and live feedback, making indoor training or small spaces motivating.

• Advanced wearable devices: Smart shirts and bracelets transmit real-time data on posture, movement, breathing, and performance both in gym activities and in various thermal treatments.

• "Hi-tech" physiotherapy and rehabilitation: New devices allow for remote rehabilitation programs under remote supervision, with in-app feedback on execution, particularly useful in thermal pools.

4. Smart Stay and Hospitality Automation

• Fully automated check-in/out: In addition to smart opening systems, some facilities adopt AI chatbots for pre-arrival, management of requests and suggestions on activities, with 24-hour response, eliminating waits.

• Wellness home automation: In some "advanced" suites, temperature, lighting, music, and even the scents of the thermal environments are regulated with apps or voice commands, creating specific atmospheres for relaxation, concentration, or sleep.

• "Themed" wellness suites: Some hotels integrate emotional showers, chromotherapy, and aromatherapy systems that can be activated remotely to offer an even more exclusive multisensory experience.

5. "Contactless" Experiences and Services

• Booking and payment of services via app: All activities—from massage to aperitifs by the pool—are booked and paid for without going through reception, directly via app or QR code.

• Smart feedback and real-time reviews: Customer care systems are integrated into the guest app: the guest can leave ratings, suggest improvements, or request assistance with a tap, even for on-demand services.

In recent years, the Spas of Abano and Montegrotto have developed several innovative applications that represent true case studies in the Italian landscape of wellness and technological hospitality. Here are some concrete examples:

1. Heat Recovery from Thermal Waters and District Heating

A pioneering district heating-cooling (DHC) project has started in Montegrotto Terme that uses residual heat from wastewater thermal waters. Through heat pumps, the heat no longer used in treatments is recovered and channeled for heating and cooling public facilities and hotels. This system is scalable and replicable also for Abano Terme: it is a unique model in Italy that combines sustainability, energy savings, and respect for environmental regulations, contributing to the ecological transition of spa destinations.

2. Digitalization of Hospitality and Smart Customer Journey

Federalberghi Abano Montegrotto is promoting a real digital revolution in the management of accommodation facilities located in the Euganean Spas. Hotels have accelerated the adoption of:

• Automated self check-in/check-out via app and smart locks.

• Dedicated websites and mobile platforms allowing bookings, payments, and "contactless" service requests.

• Home automation for energy saving and comfort control (lighting, climate, consumption), monitorable by both the host and the guest via smartphone.

• Digital communication and promotion: investments in digital marketing, social media, use of artificial intelligence for personalized suggestions and automated customer care, for example with chatbots.

3. Wellness Tech and Cutting-edge Facilities

The new M2Pools complex in Montegrotto was born from a green urban regeneration project: three technological thermal pools, a wellness path, plant automation, and energy self-sufficiency. It meets the needs of users who want premium, sustainable, and smart wellness experiences. At the Neró Spa of the Terme Preistoriche, cutting-edge technologies are integrated with a particular design and multisensory paths, where home automation regulates light, temperature, music, and aromas for an immersive and customizable experience. Digital halls, touch mirrors, and wearables for biofeedback complete the high-tech guest journey.

4. Territorial Communication and Digitalization

Montegrotto has installed digital outdoor information panels in strategic locations to provide real-time updates on events, services, and useful information for the benefit of guests and citizens. The initiative is part of a broader digitalization strategy aiming for an increasingly connected and accessible territory.

5. Training Courses and Digital Skills Development

The Spas of Abano are training new wellness tourism experts through masters and courses on digital innovations, sustainability, and technological tourism marketing. The goal is to create a new generation of industry operators capable of implementing these innovations in facilities and improving the offer for an international and demanding public.
