About
Sara Parodi is a leading researcher in geriatric rehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a focus on fall prevention and balance assessment in older adults. Her work bridges biomechanics, machine learning, and clinical gerontology to develop predictive tools that enhance early intervention. Parodi’s most cited study, “Development and validation of a robotic multifactorial fall-risk predictive model” (2020, 57 citations), introduced a novel approach integrating robotic assessment with machine learning to predict falls in community-dwelling seniors, addressing a critical public health need. She further advanced this field with “Robotic balance assessment in community-dwelling older people with different grades of impairment of physical performance” (2019, 35 citations), demonstrating how robotic platforms can objectively stratify fall risk across varying levels of physical impairment. Her contributions have been recognized for their potential to transform fall-risk screening from subjective clinical scales to data-driven, reproducible assessments. Parodi’s work is widely cited by researchers in gerontechnology and rehabilitation engineering, and she is considered a key voice in the movement toward personalized, technology-enabled care for aging populations.
