About
Riccardo Della Sala is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of telemedicine, assistive robotics, and neural interfaces, with a focus on transforming care for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. His most impactful work centers on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), where he explores how emerging technologies—from telehealth to robotic systems and brain-computer interfaces—can enhance patient management and quality of life. His 2022 paper on this topic has garnered 28 citations, reflecting its growing influence in the field. Della Sala’s career is also marked by a landmark achievement in surgical telerobotics: in 1997, he helped orchestrate a historic transatlantic connection between Monterey, USA, and Milan, Italy, using Internet and ISDN to demonstrate virtual telepresence and remote surgery. This work, published in 1998, showcased the potential of global robotic collaboration, linking NASA’s JPL with the Politecnico di Milano’s Telerobotics Laboratory. With a career spanning over two decades, Della Sala bridges cutting-edge robotics with compassionate clinical application, making him a key figure in the evolution of patient-centered neurorehabilitation and remote healthcare.
