About

Francesca Nonnis is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, human-animal interaction, and digital healthcare. Her work focuses on how emerging technologies can transform the welfare and management of companion animals, particularly dogs and cats. In her highly cited 2025 paper, "Artificial intelligence and companion animals: Perspectives on digital healthcare for dogs, cats, and pet ownership," Nonnis explores how AI-driven tools—from wearable health monitors to behavioral analytics—can address the growing demands of global pet ownership. This work has already garnered 10 citations, signaling its timely impact on both veterinary science and animal-computer interaction. Nonnis’s contributions are notable for bridging a critical gap: while AI has revolutionized human healthcare and smart living, its application to non-human companions remains underexplored. By framing pet care as a domain ripe for technological innovation, she has opened new avenues for research into ethical, practical, and user-centered AI solutions. Her scholarship is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the future of animal welfare, digital ethics, and the expanding role of AI in everyday life.
