In occasion of the World Parkinson’s Day, Aurora Saibene as part of AIxHMI, the MINDFUL group, and the MMSP laboratory has invited Chiara Capra to give us a talk entitled “Medical devices to monitor Parkinson’s: is the healthcare ecosystem ready for adoption?”.
With a background in Neuroscience from King’s College London, Chiara is a multidisciplinary entrepreneur in the Neuro MedTech field, with strong international industry experience and a clear focus on healthcare innovation. She has developed her professional career across Australia, the United Kingdom, Italy, South Africa, and Spain, gaining a global perspective on the sector. She is the Founder and CEO of LIFE Neurotech and Chief Product Officer at Sense4Care, where she works on the development of wearable medical devices for Parkinson’s monitoring, contributing to improved clinical follow-up and enhanced quality of life for patients.
Her talk explores the evolving role of wearable medical devices in Parkinson’s disease management, with a focus on continuous monitoring solutions such as STAT-ON, which enable objective, real-world data to improve clinical decision-making and personalize therapy. The session will also examine the broader impact of wearables on healthcare systems, highlighting their potential for cost-benefit savings through optimized treatments, reduced hospital visits, and better patient outcomes. In addition, it will address key barriers to adoption, including integration into clinical workflows, data interpretation, regulatory pathways, and reimbursement challenges, while emphasizing the importance of strategic partnerships with healthcare providers, payers, and industry stakeholders to accelerate adoption and ensure sustainable implementation, ultimately supporting the transition of these technologies from innovation to standard of care.
