Dimitrios I. Fotiadis

About

Dimitrios I. Fotiadis is a leading figure in biomedical engineering and digital health, whose work bridges AI-driven healthcare, neurorehabilitation, and geriatric medicine. His research focuses on developing intelligent systems for personalized medicine, with major contributions in stroke rehabilitation and cognitive health. He pioneered the Rehabotics platform, an integrated system combining soft robotic exoskeletons with augmented reality serious games for post-stroke spasticity therapy, demonstrating how technology can restore hand function and daily living activities. His landmark LETHE trial (23 citations) adapted the renowned FINGER multimodal lifestyle intervention into a digitally supported program for promoting brain health in older adults, showcasing his commitment to scalable, evidence-based dementia prevention. Fotiadis also addresses the systemic challenges of modern healthcare, exploring AI and data integration for “smart hospitals.” With over 100 publications and multiple high-impact projects, his work is shaping the future of rehabilitation robotics and digital therapeutics, making him a pivotal researcher at the intersection of engineering and clinical neuroscience.
