About
Michela Antonelli’s research sits at the intersection of human-centered design, gerontechnology, and surgical innovation. Her work addresses two critical challenges: combating loneliness and social isolation in older adults through thoughtfully designed technologies, and improving surgical outcomes via advanced 3D modeling. In her widely cited 2024 scoping review (9 citations), she systematically mapped human-centered design approaches for technologies targeting loneliness in older populations, providing a foundational framework for developers and clinicians. Simultaneously, her meta-analysis on 3D models during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (7 citations) demonstrated how preoperative visualization can reduce surgical complications, directly impacting urological practice. Her most recent 2025 study on nerve-sparing gestures and positive surgical margins continues this trajectory, refining robotic surgical techniques. Antonelli’s work exemplifies how rigorous, user-focused research can bridge technology and human needs—whether enhancing quality of life for aging populations or improving precision in the operating room. Her contributions are shaping both the ethical development of assistive technologies and the future of minimally invasive surgery.
