Ph.D student in Health Promotion and Cognitive Sciences

My research includes two parts.

In Part One, my work will concentrate on developing and testing a new intervention for psychological support of healthcare professionals. The scenario considered refers to the frontline commitment and the emergency management during the pandemic SARS-COVID-19, when healthcare workers undergo emotional overload and are likely to develop depression or burn-out.

Part Two will present the evolution of rehabilitation of neuro-developmental child disorders across various contexts. The aid of social robots, implemented both at hospital and home, will be analysed and the impact of new technologies on the improvement of individual’s cognitive skills will be evaluated. The final outcome will be a model based on the unique characteristics of child and parents.
