About

Giovanna Nicora is a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and rehabilitation science. Her work focuses on how AI and machine learning can enhance robotic-assisted rehabilitation, particularly for stroke patients, while also addressing the critical human factors that determine whether these technologies succeed in clinical practice. Her most-cited paper, a systematic review of AI/ML applications in multi-domain robotic rehabilitation (28 citations), provides a comprehensive roadmap of current trends and gaps in the field. Nicora’s contributions are distinguished by their dual focus: she not only advances technical methods—such as machine learning for human activity recognition—but also investigates the real-world needs and barriers faced by healthcare practitioners and patients. Her protocol for the STROKEFIT4 multicentre randomised controlled trial (7 citations) exemplifies her commitment to rigorous, pragmatic evidence generation. By developing ontologies for clinical outcome measurement and systematically identifying patient needs, Nicora is helping to bridge the gap between promising rehabilitation technologies and their effective, sustainable integration into healthcare systems.
