About
Bridget Dibb is a health psychologist whose research sits at the intersection of rehabilitation technology and patient-centered care. Her work focuses on understanding how individuals perceive and experience therapeutic interventions, particularly in stroke rehabilitation. Her most-cited paper, "Stroke participants' perceptions of robotic and electrical stimulation therapy: a new approach" (2010, 30 citations), pioneered the development of measures to capture user perceptions—a critical yet often overlooked factor in designing rehabilitation technologies. This work demonstrated that patient feedback is essential for optimizing devices like robotic workstations and electrical stimulators. Dibb's contributions have helped shift the field toward more inclusive, user-informed design, ensuring that technological advances align with real-world patient needs and preferences. Her research underscores the importance of psychological and experiential dimensions in rehabilitation, influencing how clinicians and engineers approach therapy development. With a career dedicated to bridging the gap between technology and human experience, Dibb remains a key voice in promoting patient perspectives as a cornerstone of effective rehabilitation.
