ProjectsGATEKEPEER ProjectRole: Large Scale Pilot manager, piloting support activities, Open Calls manager GATEKEEPER is one of the largest funded projects by the H2020 EU Programme. It's a European Multi Centric Large-Scale Pilot on Smart Living Environments. The main objective is enabling the creation of a platform that connects healthcare providers, businesses, entrepreneurs, and elderly citizens and the communities they live in, in order to originate an open, trust-based arena for matching ideas, technologies, user needs and processes, aimed at ensuring healthier independent lives for the ageing populations. The scope of GATEKEEPER is the application of advanced Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) to tackle the challenge of improving the quality of life of citizens while demonstrating its significant efficiency gains in health and care delivery across Europe The main objective of the Project is to create a GATEKEEPER, that connects healthcare providers, businesses, entrepreneurs, elderly citizens and the communities they live in, in order to originate an open, trust-based arena for matching ideas, technologies, user needs and processes, aimed at ensuring healthier independent lives for the ageing populations.

This cannot be an untaught linear reduction. For instance, the number of ICU beds per million of EU habitants was reduced of 75% in the past 30 years, also in response to the unneglectable need to invest on territory healthcare services in response to demographic challenges. This left EU Hospitals completely unprepared to the COVID-19 pandemics. In order to respond to this challenge the European Commission has invested €40m with a dedicated call, which has selected 4 projects out of 85 proposals. ODIN aims at deploying technologies along three lines of intervention: · empowering workers using AI, cybernetics and bionics; · introducing autonomous and collaborative robots for enhancing hospital efficacy and safety; · introducing and enhancing medical locations and medical device management with IoT and video analytics These areas of intervention will be piloted in six top hospitals in six European cities (Berlin in Germany, Paris in France, Rome in Italy, Madrid in Spain, Utrecht in The Netherland and Lodz in Poland), spanning from clinical to logistic interventions, including patient management, disaster preparedness (e.g., reorganising Hospitals in case of pandemics) and hospital resiliency. ODIN pilot will be a federation of multicentre longitudinal cohort studies, demonstrating the safety, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of ODIN technologies for the enhancement of hospital safety, productivity and quality. ODIN vision is that as Evidence Based Medicine revolutionized medicine with data-driven procedures, so data-driven management, enabled by Industry 4.0 technologies, can revolutionise hospital management. Cost Action - Advancing Social inclusion through Technology and EmPowerment Role: Management Committee, WG2 and WG3 Cost Action 19104 - Advancing Social inclusion through Technology and EmPowerment. Social inclusion is an important element of well-being for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and/or Intellectual Disability (ID). Research has highlighted that social inclusion is facilitated through access to education and employment. Despite this, people with ASD and/or ID have low rates of participation in these domains. Research has demonstrated that Assistive Technology (AT) shows great promise in increasing participation in education and employment. Notwithstanding recent technological advances, there are low rates of adoption of AT throughout Europe by service providers, educators, employers and policymakers. There are several areas of unmet need including: high abandonment rates of AT, lack of inclusion of people with ASD and/or ID in the research process, lack of interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration and poor match between technology and the individual with ASD and/or ID.

Adjunct Associate Professor at the SBARRO Health Research Organization, College of Science and Technology, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Treasurer and Board Member at AAATE – Association for the advancement of assistive technology in Europe. Advisory board member of GLIC Association – The Italian Network of Assistive Technology Centres. Founder & president of the board of the Center for Assistive Technology, Ausilioteca Mediterranea Onlus - MANE', a not-for-profit SME, based in Naples and Bari, South Italy. My work, mainly as senior researcher, has been focused on technology assessment in terms of accessibility, independent life and universal design. Strong knowledge on home and building automation, automatic speech recognition and HCI. Main outcomes are on field research studies on the use of innovative technology solutions at affordable cost and to foster the autonomy and inclusion of persons with disabilities in their context with the aid of technology. I authored several publications on the use of ICT for the Inclusion in Italy and abroad. I'm consultant of various Public Entities and Institutions, national and international entities and companies operating in the field of the use of ICT for the quality of life. Keynote and invited speaker in several universities in Italy and abroad. In 2021 I've been appointed as member of the International Editorial Council of Science for Education Today, Research Electronic Journal. Founded in 2011.
