About

Michela Borghetti is a leading researcher in biomedical engineering, specializing in wearable sensor systems and robotic rehabilitation technologies. Her work focuses on developing innovative tools for hand and finger motion tracking, with applications ranging from clinical rehabilitation to industrial ergonomics. Borghetti’s most influential contribution is her 2013 paper on a sensorized glove for measuring hand finger flexion in rehabilitation, which has garnered 121 citations and laid the groundwork for portable, patient-friendly recovery devices. This research bridges the gap between hospital-based robotic therapy and home rehabilitation, as highlighted in her 2017 work on transitioning hand robotic rehabilitation from clinical to domestic settings. She further extended her expertise to occupational safety with a 2019 study on a modular wearable system for tracking workers’ finger movements in industrial environments, demonstrating the versatility of her sensor technology. Borghetti’s work is notable for its practical impact, enabling faster recovery for trauma patients and improving quality control in manufacturing. Her contributions underscore a commitment to translating cutting-edge sensor technology into real-world solutions that enhance human health and performance.
