About
Matteo Puntoni is a researcher at the forefront of gerontechnology, specializing in the intersection of robotics, balance assessment, and smart healthcare for aging populations. His work focuses on developing and validating robotic systems to objectively evaluate physical performance and fall risk in older adults, addressing a critical need in geriatric care. Puntoni’s most impactful contribution is his 2019 study on robotic balance assessment in community-dwelling older people, which demonstrated how robotic platforms can differentiate impairment grades in physical performance—a paper that has garnered 35 citations and set a benchmark for non-invasive, quantitative fall-risk screening. He further advanced this field with his 2018 work on trunk parameter analysis using the hunova robot, revealing key static and dynamic balance metrics. Beyond assessment, Puntoni has explored integrated smart post-hospitalization facilities, combining domotics, robotics, and automated tele-monitoring to reduce delayed hospital discharges—a pressing issue affecting 8% of bed occupancy. His research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering scalable solutions for aging-in-place and proactive geriatric care. Through these innovations, Puntoni is shaping a future where technology empowers older adults to maintain independence and safety.
