In 2000 he contributed to establish the Italian National Center of Oncological Hadrontheraphy (CNAO), a cancer centre specializing in translational research and Hadrontherapy with protons and carbon ions, where he is serving as member of the Board of Governors since the beginning.[5]

Research

Pedotti's research has been focused on movement science, motor disorders and rehabilitation, cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and cancer treatment.

Pedotti diagrams and Elite for 3D analysis of movement

Pedotti has worked on new methods and technologies for the analysis of complex movements to investigate neuroscience areas such as neuromotor control, brain plasticity and learning. He has researched on the development of such innovations for applications in neurological disorders, orthopedics, rehabilitation, ergonomics and optimization of motor performances. He developed the Pedotti diagrams of gait and the computer vision Elite for 3D analysis of movement in this context.[6] His developments are used in clinical practice and have also been installed in the space platforms MIR and ISS to investigate astronaut motor performances in microgravity.[7]

Functional rehabilitation and recovery of disabled people

Pedotti has also worked on creating technical aids and devices for functional rehabilitation and recovery of disabled people[8] including neuroprosthesis[9] and brain-computer interface and the service for information and evaluation of technical aids (SIVA).

Cardiovascular research

In the field of cardiovascular research, Pedotti contributed to the development of new algorithms and technologies for continuous monitoring and processing of BP and HR signals in order to investigate the baroreflex control and its role in hypertension.[10]

Cancer Research

Pedotti has conducted oncological research centering on radiomics, sensors and robotics, to improve methods and technologies for patient positioning and computer aided tumor targeting in radiotherapy and hadrontherapy with protons and carbon ions.[11]

Optoelectronic Pletismography

In the context of pneumology and respiratory diseases, Pedotti is one of the inventors of the Optoelectronic Pletismography, which is a method to evaluate ventilation through an external measurement of the chest wall surface motion.[12] He also contributed in the improvement of forced oscillation technique (FOT) for evaluating the respiratory system resistance and reactance during spontaneous ventilation and mechanical ventilation.[13]
