Amplifon Foundation

Bridging isolation with Cisco and Webex.

How the Amplifon Foundation used Cisco devices to combat isolation and improve the lives of elderly residents worldwide.

Connecting communities and improving well-being

Webex technologies empowered the Amplifon Foundation to connect elderly residents, foster engagement, and improve quality of life in nursing homes.

A global health crisis

Elderly residents in nursing homes were cut off from their families, risking emotional and cognitive decline.

Human-centered technology

Cisco Desk Pros and Room Kits enabled meaningful connections, tailored activities, and immersive experiences.

Improved well-being and engagement

40% boost in residents' well-being and a positive shift in attitudes toward technology.

The future of hybrid collaboration.

Cisco Room Devices empower teams to co-create, collaborate, and connect for more inclusive, innovative workspaces.

Amplifon Foundation fosters connection with Cisco.

Cisco works toward human connection and pushes to make people heard, seen, engaged, and connected, and that’s exactly what we want to do.

Maria Cristina Ferradini, Managing Director of the Amplifon Foundation

Because it’s so simple and easy to use, they start to forget there’s a technology behind it all and they can focus solely on the human connection. For them, it’s a real magic moment.

Valeria Franco, Manager

I think Cisco has two key factors. The first is the humanity of its people, and the second is the quality of its technology. Together, they make Cisco an extraordinary partner, and we’d like to partner with Cisco for a very long time.
