About
Dr. Angela Giorgeschi is a leading researcher in geriatric rehabilitation and assistive robotics, specializing in the early detection and prevention of falls in older adults. Her work centers on integrating robotic technology with clinical assessment to quantify fall risk, moving beyond subjective evaluations to objective, data-driven models. Her major contribution is the development and validation of a robotic multifactorial fall-risk predictive model, which demonstrated remarkable accuracy in a one-year prospective study of community-dwelling older adults (57 citations). This model, leveraging the hunova robot, analyzes trunk parameters under static and dynamic balance conditions, providing a nuanced understanding of physical impairment. Dr. Giorgeschi’s research has shown that robotic balance assessment can differentiate between grades of physical performance impairment (35 citations), offering clinicians a powerful tool for personalized intervention. Her pioneering work bridges engineering and gerontology, establishing a new standard for fall-risk screening and paving the way for scalable, preventative strategies that could significantly reduce fall-related morbidity and healthcare costs.
