About

Alessia Brischetto is a leading researcher in human-centred design for assistive technologies, with a primary focus on improving the quality of life for older and frail adults. Her work lies at the intersection of robotics, gerontechnology, and inclusive design, aiming to make assistive robotics a viable solution for Ageing in Place and Active and Healthy Ageing. Her most cited study, a 2022 qualitative investigation into the acceptability of assistive robotics among older adults, has garnered 4 citations and is foundational in understanding user needs and barriers to adoption. Brischetto’s contributions are notable for their emphasis on participatory design, ensuring that technological solutions are not only functional but also socially and emotionally acceptable to end-users. Her research has informed the development of more intuitive, empathetic robotic systems, bridging the gap between engineering and real-world application. By prioritizing the voices of older adults in her studies, she has helped shape a more inclusive vision for future care technologies. Her work continues to influence both academic discourse and practical design guidelines, making her a key figure in the drive toward dignified, technology-supported ageing.
