About

Manolis Tsiknakis is a leading researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering, digital health, and artificial intelligence, with a focus on transforming healthcare through wearable technologies and intelligent systems. His work is pioneering the development of smart, non-invasive tools for continuous health monitoring, particularly in the domain of gait analysis and rehabilitation. Tsiknakis’s most notable contribution is the design of a **3D-printed capacitive smart insole for plantar pressure monitoring** (2022, 36 citations), a breakthrough that offers a low-cost, customizable solution for real-time gait tracking in clinical and sports science settings. This innovation addresses critical challenges in wearable sensor design, enabling precise, comfortable, and accessible monitoring outside traditional labs. More recently, Tsiknakis has turned his attention to the systemic challenges of modern healthcare, co-authoring a forward-looking study on **"The Smart Hospital: Data and AI Challenges"** (2023), which outlines a roadmap for integrating AI and data-driven decision-making into hospital infrastructure. His work bridges engineering and clinical practice, aiming to make hospitals more responsive, efficient, and patient-centered. With a growing citation footprint and a clear trajectory toward impactful, real-world applications, Tsiknakis is shaping the future of personalized, technology-enabled medicine.
