In its Polytechnique magazine, the Swiss media highlights our vision of more effective, accessible and patient-centered robotic rehabilitation. A fine recognition of our work and our technology in the service of mobility and autonomy.

Coordinated by the University of Pavia and the IRCCS Don Gnocchi Foundation, focuses on the pivotal task of clinical translation and innovation. Mission 1 aims to run extensive, in terms of number of patients and/or duration, mono- or multi-centric, clinical trials using healthcare robots or personal care robots that are currently available or will be adapted or developed by the consortium

“The use of robots allows us to expand the potential of medicine, to extend care in a democratic way. For me, rehabilitating a person means giving them a chance. It means giving them the chance to overcome their motor, sensory and cognitive limitations and, in some cases, to return to the state they were in before the event that caused their injury. With our robots, we are doubling the effectiveness of neuromotor rehabilitation”.

So says Irene Giovanna Aprile, head of the neuromotor rehabilitation department at the Fondazione Don Gnocchi, in the interview conducted by Agnese Pellegrini in the February issue of BenEssere Magazine, edited by Eliana Liotta.

“Robotics and technologies are revolutionizing rehabilitation” says Irene Giovanna Aprile neurologist, director of the Neuromotor Rehabilitation Department of the Don Gnocchi Foundation, within Tg2Dossier Service - of the ‘Don Gnocchi’ Center in Rome - dedicated to the benefits of technologically advanced rehabilitation, at the new frontiers of reabilitation.

Dr. Aprile and the team of young researchers at his side are also personally involved in the Fit4MedRob Project, for the valorization of technologies in favor of health, funded by the PNRR program.
