Summary

Francesco Moscone leads the area of Healthcare Management and Wellbeing at BBS, where his research concentrates on sustainable health expenditure, exploring potential savings from both demand and supply perspectives. On the demand side, he examines scenarios such as potential savings if the smoking population transitions to reduced-risk products like vaping, if heavy drinkers shift to moderate drinking, and if individuals become more physically active.
