About

Nicola Pesenti is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of neonatal care and surgical robotics, whose work addresses critical challenges in patient safety and precision medicine. His key research areas include robotic medication compounding in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and robot-assisted surgery for bladder cancer. Pesenti’s most impactful contribution, "Robotic Therapy: Cost, Accuracy, and Times. New Challenges in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit" (2019, 11 citations), highlights how robotic systems can reduce medication errors in vulnerable preterm newborns—a population highly susceptible to dosing mistakes. This work underscores the potential for automation to improve cost-efficiency and accuracy in high-stakes NICU environments. In parallel, his 2021 study on robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for bladder cancer patients (2 citations) systematically compares surgical, functional, and oncologic outcomes against open surgery, contributing to the growing evidence base for minimally invasive approaches. Pesenti’s research bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering practical solutions for error reduction and enhanced surgical precision. His work is particularly notable for its focus on underserved areas—neonatal medication safety and urologic oncology—making him a valuable voice in the push toward safer, more efficient healthcare technologies.
