About
Lucia Paciaroni is a leading researcher at the intersection of geriatric care and social robotics, with a primary focus on improving the quality of life for older adults living with dementia. Her most cited work, a 2023 study protocol on the use of the Paro seal robot in an Italian Alzheimer’s day center, has already garnered 17 citations, highlighting the growing urgency and interest in non-pharmacological interventions for chronic degenerative diseases. Paciaroni’s major contribution lies in rigorously evaluating how socially assistive robots can reduce behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, offering a compassionate alternative to medication. Her research addresses the global challenge of an aging population, particularly those over 80, by designing scalable, evidence-based protocols that integrate technology into daily care. Beyond this flagship study, Paciaroni has advanced the field through interdisciplinary collaboration, bridging robotics, psychology, and clinical practice. Her work not only demonstrates measurable impact through citation growth but also provides a blueprint for humane, tech-enhanced care—a vital resource for students and researchers seeking to innovate in gerontechnology and dementia support.
