About

Dr. Lazzaro di Biase is a leading researcher in movement disorders and digital health, with a primary focus on Parkinson’s disease (PD). His most cited work, “Assessing bradykinesia in Parkinson’s disease using gyroscope signals” (2017, 39 citations), represents a pivotal contribution to the objective, sensor-based quantification of motor symptoms. By leveraging gyroscope signals, Dr. di Biase developed a method to measure bradykinesia—a cardinal PD symptom characterized by slowness of movement—with greater precision than traditional clinical observation. This work bridges the gap between neurology and wearable technology, enabling continuous, remote monitoring of disease progression. His research addresses the critical challenge of dopaminergic neuron degeneration and its motor consequences, offering tools that could transform how neurologists track symptom fluctuations and treatment responses. Beyond bradykinesia, Dr. di Biase’s investigations extend to tremor and rigidity, aiming to create comprehensive digital biomarkers for PD. His contributions have significant implications for personalized medicine, clinical trial design, and home-based care. With a growing citation impact, Dr. di Biase is recognized for advancing the integration of engineering and clinical neuroscience, making him a key figure in the future of movement disorder diagnostics.
