About
Fabrizia Lattanzio is an Italian researcher whose work sits at the intersection of gerontology, rehabilitation medicine, and assistive robotics, with a particular focus on improving quality of life and functional outcomes for older adults. Her most influential contribution, a 2018 study on robotic services acceptance in smart environments (141 citations), helped establish a foundational understanding of how elderly populations perceive and interact with socially assistive robots in real-world home settings. This work, complemented by her 2014 analysis of technology care innovation in Italy (71 citations), positions Lattanzio as a leading voice in translating emerging technologies into practical, person-centered solutions for aging populations. Her research extends into neurological rehabilitation, where she has investigated robotic-assisted gait training for stroke survivors and developed innovative protocols for Parkinson's disease management — conditions representing major causes of disability in older adults. Notably, Lattanzio also contributed to measurement science through the development of the Robot Era Inventory (2022), a specialized scale for assessing social robot acceptance. Across her portfolio, her work reflects a consistent commitment to evidence-based, technology-enhanced care, making her an important figure for researchers navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of aging, disability, and assistive innovation.
