About
Giuseppe Pelliccioni is an Italian clinical researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of gerontology, neurodegenerative disease, and assistive technology. His primary focus encompasses the rehabilitation of older adults living with Parkinson's disease, dementia, and stroke, with a particular emphasis on harnessing robotics and emerging technologies to improve functional outcomes and quality of life. Among his most influential contributions is his pioneering investigation into robotic-based rehabilitation protocols for Parkinson's disease, which has attracted 30 citations and laid groundwork for rigorous randomized controlled trial methodologies in the field. Pelliccioni has also advanced the use of social robotics—including the Paro seal robot—to support individuals with dementia and their caregivers, most notably through his involvement in the multinational eWare project. His development of the Robot Era Inventory, a dedicated scale for measuring older adults' acceptance of social robots, reflects his commitment to patient-centered implementation of technology. More recently, his exploration of dance-based robotic interventions for Parkinson's disease signals an imaginatively interdisciplinary research trajectory. With cumulative citations exceeding 100 across his key publications, Pelliccioni has established himself as a thoughtful and impactful voice in geriatric rehabilitation and socially assistive robotics.
