About
Dr. Lisa Monoscalco is a leading voice at the intersection of medical robotics and cybersecurity, with a particular focus on the human factors that determine safe technology adoption. Her most cited work, “Information Security in Medical Robotics: A Survey on the Level of Training, Awareness and Use of the Physiotherapist,” has garnered 11 citations and provides critical insight into a previously underexplored area: the cybersecurity awareness and preparedness of physiotherapists using care robots. By surveying practitioners directly, Monoscalco revealed a significant gap between the perceived importance of cybersecurity and the actual training and skills of end-users, highlighting risks to patient safety, data integrity, and privacy. This research is foundational for developing targeted educational interventions and design standards that bridge the human-technology security divide. Her work is essential reading for anyone studying the safe, ethical deployment of robotics in healthcare, establishing her as a key researcher ensuring that as care robots become more common, they remain both effective and secure.
