About

Dr. Elisabetta Farina is a leading researcher in cognitive neuroscience and assistive robotics, with a primary focus on supporting older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Her major contribution lies in pioneering the integration of robotic systems into home environments to extend independent living and enhance quality of life for individuals with early cognitive decline. As a key figure in the ENRICHME project, Dr. Farina has advanced the development of a comprehensive, sensor-driven care platform that combines a mobile robot with ambient intelligence and a networking care system. Her 2017 paper, which reports preliminary tests of this system, has garnered 10 citations and serves as a foundational work in the field of socially assistive robotics. By demonstrating how robotic solutions can monitor, engage, and support people with MCI in real-world settings, Dr. Farina has bridged the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical, compassionate care. Her work is instrumental in shaping future interventions for aging populations, making her a pivotal voice in the intersection of robotics, gerontology, and clinical neuroscience.
