About

Amalia Egle Gentile is a leading researcher at the intersection of pediatric neurorehabilitation and emerging digital technologies. Her work primarily focuses on harnessing gaming technologies—including videogames and virtual reality—to transform rehabilitation for children with neurological disorders. In her highly cited 2022 systematic review, "Gaming Technology for Pediatric Neurorehabilitation," Gentile critically evaluated the evidence base for these playful interventions, arguing that while gaming offers unprecedented opportunities for intensive, enjoyable therapy, rigorous, evidence-based results are essential for widespread clinical adoption. This foundational work has garnered 42 citations and established her as a key voice in the field. Beyond this review, Gentile’s research continues to bridge the gap between immersive technology and pediatric care, exploring how interactive systems can improve motor and cognitive outcomes. Her contributions are shaping a new paradigm where rehabilitation is not only effective but also engaging for young patients, making her a pivotal figure in the movement toward technology-driven, patient-centered neurorehabilitation.
