About
Alfonso Voscarelli is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, cognitive neuroscience, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on neurodegenerative disorders. His work centers on developing bio-cooperative systems that adapt in real time to a patient’s physiological and cognitive state, creating more engaging and effective rehabilitation experiences. Voscarelli’s major contribution is the design and evaluation of the PRoBio platform, a novel bio-cooperative robotic system that integrates a service robot with virtual reality for cognitive rehabilitation in Parkinson’s disease and mild cognitive impairment. His preliminary user-centred evaluation, conducted through focus groups and a living lab within the OPERA project, provides critical insights into user acceptance and system usability, laying the groundwork for future clinical adoption. While his most-cited paper is recent (2025) with 1 citation, its foundational nature positions it to become a key reference in the emerging field of adaptive, patient-driven neurorehabilitation. Voscarelli’s work exemplifies a shift toward personalized, technology-mediated therapy that respects the complex needs of aging populations.
