About
Leandro Pecchia is a leading researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering, health economics, and intelligent healthcare systems. His work focuses on the economic sustainability and clinical translation of robotic surgery and rehabilitation technologies, as well as the deployment of smart environments for infection prevention and control. Pecchia’s most-cited paper, a multicentre cost analysis of robotic right colectomy (49 citations), provides critical evidence on the economic viability of surgical robotics. He has also made significant contributions to knowledge representation in healthcare through semantic ontologies (25 citations) and to pandemic response with a robotic arm for safe biomedical equipment control during COVID-19 (8 citations). His systematic review on smart environments and robots for nosocomial infection control (25 citations) and his position paper from the Fit for Medical Robotics Initiative (9 citations) highlight his leadership in translating laboratory innovations into clinical practice. With additional work on autonomous disinfection robots and sensorized environmental monitoring platforms, Pecchia’s research demonstrates a sustained commitment to making healthcare safer, more efficient, and economically sustainable through intelligent technology integration.
