About

Chiara Pavese is a leading researcher in rehabilitation science, with a focus on technology-assisted therapies and patient-centered outcomes. Her work primarily explores how robotic and virtual reality (VR) rehabilitation tools can enhance recovery, particularly by evaluating the often-overlooked psychological factors of patient motivation and satisfaction. Her most-cited paper, "Evaluation of Patient Motivation and Satisfaction During Technology-Assisted Rehabilitation: An Experiential Review" (2020, 44 citations), provides a critical synthesis of assessment tools in this domain, establishing a foundational framework for integrating patient experience into clinical practice. This review has shaped how researchers design and measure the effectiveness of tech-driven interventions, emphasizing that successful rehabilitation depends not only on physical outcomes but also on user engagement. Pavese’s contributions are vital for advancing human-centered rehabilitation, ensuring that emerging technologies like robotics and VR are both effective and motivating for patients. Her work continues to influence interdisciplinary teams developing next-generation therapeutic tools, making her a key voice in bridging engineering, psychology, and clinical care.
