About
Chiara Braschi is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on cognitive health in aging populations. Her most influential work, "The impact of serious games with humanoid robots on mild cognitive impairment older adults" (2020, 92 citations), pioneered the use of socially assistive robots as therapeutic tools for cognitive stimulation. By combining serious game design with humanoid robotics, Braschi demonstrated how interactive play can enhance memory, attention, and executive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment—a breakthrough that bridges digital health and personalized care. Her research has shaped interventions for dementia prevention, earning recognition for its translational impact on clinical practice. Beyond this landmark study, Braschi has advanced frameworks for evaluating robot-assisted therapy, contributing to guidelines for human-centered AI in healthcare. Her work is widely cited by engineers, geriatricians, and human-computer interaction scholars, underscoring its interdisciplinary relevance. Through her innovative integration of robotics and gamification, Braschi continues to redefine how technology can support cognitive resilience and quality of life in later years.
