About
Dr. Silvia Traina is a leading researcher in neonatal pharmacotherapy and medication safety, with a focused expertise in the application of robotic technology within the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Her most cited work, "Robotic Therapy: Cost, Accuracy, and Times. New Challenges in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit" (2019), has garnered 11 citations and represents a pivotal contribution to the field. In this study, Dr. Traina systematically addresses the critical vulnerabilities of preterm newborns to medication errors, a challenge far more acute than in adult care. She provides the first comprehensive analysis of how robotic medication compounding can mitigate these risks, offering a rigorous evaluation of its cost-effectiveness, precision, and time efficiency. By quantifying the potential of automation to enhance safety and accuracy in the NICU, her research has laid essential groundwork for transforming neonatal pharmaceutical practices. Dr. Traina’s work is instrumental in bridging the gap between advanced engineering and fragile patient care, establishing her as a key voice in the movement toward safer, more reliable medication delivery systems for the most vulnerable patients.
