About
Flavia Carle is a distinguished researcher whose work lies at the intersection of pediatric healthcare, medical technology, and human-robot interaction. Her most notable contribution is a pioneering experimental study on managing preoperative anxiety in children through the use of humanoid robots. In this 2023 study, she demonstrated that a humanoid robot named Estrabot could significantly reduce anxiety levels in young patients awaiting surgery at the Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria delle Marche Hospital. This innovative approach not only offers a non-pharmacological, child-friendly alternative to traditional sedation but also opens new avenues for integrating robotics into clinical care. With her work already garnering attention and citations, Carle is establishing herself as a leader in the emerging field of pediatric robotic-assisted therapy. Her research holds profound implications for improving patient experience, reducing psychological trauma, and reshaping how hospitals prepare children for medical procedures.
