SPEAKER

Sara Arlati, PhD

Italian National Research Council | CNR · Institute of Intelligent Industrial Technologies and Systems for Advanced Manufacturing STIIMA-CNR; Biomedical Engineering

Sara Arlati received her MSc degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2013 and her Ph.D. degree in Bioengineering in 2020 from Politecnico di Milano (Milano, Italy). Her Ph.D. thesis was about virtual reality-based cognitive interventions for older adults with mild cognitive impairment. She is currently a full-time researcher at STIIMA, an institute of the National Research Council of Italy. Her research interests mainly deal with eXtended Reality (XR) technologies and their application to the health sector; she designs and develops applications supporting neuromotor rehabilitation and cognitive training for diverse populations of users. She is also interested in the evaluation of the user experience and in using XR to support neuroscience studies.

 

 

 

About this conference

Virtual Reality for rehabilitation: the experience of CNR-STIIMA

STIIMA is a technological institute of the National Research Council of Italy carrying out research in the fields of eXtended Reality (XR) technologies, mechatronics, and motion analysis. The presentation will focus on XR-based solutions for health, among which the Institute experiences in supporting the neurorehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke, the learning of wheelchair skills, the training of cognitive abilities, and the improvement of physical fitness. The idea is to provide an overview of the activities to create space for discussion and potentially foster future collaborations.
