About
Dr. Barbara Senesi is a leading researcher in geriatric medicine and rehabilitation robotics, specializing in fall prevention and balance assessment among older adults. Her work focuses on integrating robotic technologies with clinical assessments to predict and mitigate fall risks—a critical public health issue given the high incidence and severe consequences of falls in the elderly. Dr. Senesi’s major contributions include the development and validation of a robotic multifactorial fall-risk predictive model, detailed in her most-cited paper (2020, 57 citations). This one-year prospective study demonstrated how robotic systems can accurately identify high-risk individuals in community-dwelling populations, enabling early intervention. She also pioneered robotic balance assessment methods that distinguish impairment levels in older adults with varying physical performance (2019, 35 citations). Her research has been instrumental in advancing personalized, technology-driven approaches to geriatric care, reducing fall-related morbidity and healthcare costs. Dr. Senesi’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable tools for proactive aging support. Her achievements highlight the transformative potential of robotics in preventive medicine, making her a key figure in the field of gerontechnology.
