About

Matteo Cesari is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and long-term care innovation. His work focuses on leveraging cutting-edge technologies—including Socially Assistive Robots (SARs), the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual communities, and smart objects—to support independent living for older adults. His most cited paper, "Integrating Social Assistive Robots, IoT, Virtual Communities and Smart Objects to Assist at-Home Independently Living Elders: the MoveCare Project" (62 citations), exemplifies his commitment to real-world, integrated Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) frameworks that address the challenges of long-term deployments in complex home environments. Cesari has also made significant contributions to pandemic-era care, co-authoring "Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCFs) During the COVID-19 Pandemic—Lessons From the Asian Approach" (24 citations) and the forward-looking "The Inevitability of Reimagining Long-Term Care" (14 citations). These works highlight his ability to synthesize global lessons and advocate for systemic transformation in aging services. With a cumulative citation impact exceeding 100, Cesari’s research is essential reading for students and professionals seeking to understand how technology and policy can converge to create dignified, sustainable support for our aging population.
