About
Dr. Matteo Pergami-Peries is a leading innovator in rehabilitation robotics, whose work is transforming post-stroke recovery. His primary research focuses on the development of wearable robotic exoskeletons and integrated digital health platforms for at-home neurorehabilitation. Dr. Pergami-Peries’ most significant contribution is the creation of HandMATE, a groundbreaking wearable robotic hand exoskeleton designed for home-based movement therapy. This device, detailed in his highly cited 2020 paper (48 citations), uniquely powers each finger and thumb with linear actuators to provide precise flexion and extension assistance, integrating force-sensitive resistors and an Android app for patient-guided therapy. His work directly addresses the critical need for accessible, intensive rehabilitation outside clinical settings, empowering patients to regain hand function independently. By bridging robotics, sensor technology, and mobile health, Dr. Pergami-Peries is pioneering a new paradigm in stroke rehabilitation, with his research laying the foundation for scalable, patient-centered solutions that dramatically improve recovery outcomes and quality of life.
