Ph.D. School on Neurodegeneration is the doctoral School on New Technologies for Community Medicine in Neurodegenerative Diseases. The program will address
methodological issues related to science and technology, with a focus on community medicine applications for neurodegenerative diseases.
The school is structured into thematic days, each dedicated to a specific aspect: cognitive impairments, mild motor disorders, and advanced motor disorders.
Each day will include a lecture providing a theoretical framework for the
respective topic, followed by additional lectures focusing on technology-driven
approaches for assessment, assistance, and rehabilitation within each domain.
Special attention will be given to the impact of emerging technologies,
emphasizing both the benefits of innovation in wearable systems and the challenges introduced by advancements in the field.
The program is designed for neurologists, psychologists, physiatrists, medical
physicists, biomedical engineers, medical technologists, and other healthcare
specialist.
The School will span one week and will feature hands-on sessions, keynotes,
laboratory exercises, along with lectures and discussions covering both medical
and engineering perspectives on the topic. These sessions will be led by renowned
national and international speakers. Peculiar emphasis is given to practical sessions
and team-building projects. A final test will allow education credits release.
Best research posters and final project presentations will be awarded officially.
