Andrea Blondi is a Postgraduate Research Associate with the King's Epilepsy Research Collective at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London. 

Andrea is a neuroscientist and psychologist with a strong interest in wearable technology, digital health, psychophysiology, and neuroscience. His research focuses on developing novel digital solutions for remote monitoring of physiological and behavioural variables aiming to improve epilepsy management. His research not only focuses on enhancing traditional approaches but also on the integration of digital mental health interventions into epilepsy management.

Andrea holds a BSc in Cognitive Psychology (University of Padova, IT), a MSc in Neuroscience and Neuropsychology Rehabilitation (University of Padova, IT) and obtained a PhD in Clinical Neuroscience (King’s College London, UK) after leading the EEG@HOME project. The main aim was to develop a procedure that would allow patients with epilepsy to independently and safely collect daily at-home EEG and continuous data from smartwatches and smartphone apps.

Previously he worked as a research assistant on the RADAR epilepsy work package when he supervised the collection of clinical information and data from wearable devices (ECG, GSR, EMG, ACC), clinical EEGs, questionnaires, and interviews with patients in the hospital EEG monitoring unit.
