I am a healthcare and biomedical scientist with more than 20 years of industrial and academic experience. As an interdisciplinary researcher specializing in neuroscience-driven virtual reality applications and digital health technologies, my main research focuses on neurorehabilitation and healthy ageing through medical devices with an emphasis on improving neurological health and rehabilitation. Currently, I am leading the Healthcare Incubator lab at MindMaze, a global leader in brain technology and digital therapeutics for neurorehabilitation.

I am currently carrying out a series of projects to provide titrated therapeutic interventions via ecological virtual reality-based training to restore attentional and executive functions, main cognitive sequelae after acquired brain damage. Personalized treatments are determined through recovery predictors based on multimodal patient profiling from the brain lesion, neuropsychological assessments, game performance and eye tracking information.

An additional research line is a systemic one, the archetype of transdisciplinary projects with country-wide impact. The SwissNeuroRehab and NeuroRehab4EU initiatives strive to implement an effective and efficient patient-centered model of neurorehabilitation along the continuum of care, including telemedicine, in Switzerland, France and Italy. In these projects, I am a member of the Steering committee, representing the interests of implementation and industrial partners.
