About
Dimitrios Prodromou is a health technology researcher whose work centers on the intersection of robotics, dementia care, and psychosocial wellbeing. He is best known for his pioneering investigations into socially assistive robots (SARs), particularly humanoid platforms like the Pepper robot, and their potential to support people with dementia and their informal caregivers in real-world home settings. Prodromou's most significant contribution is the AMIGO project, a multisensory robot coaching system combining the Pepper robot with tablet-based training to stimulate cognitive and physical activity in people with dementia. His research moved beyond laboratory settings to examine genuine clinical and home-care contexts, filling a critical gap in the evidence base. Through mixed-methods, qualitative, and randomized controlled trial designs, he has systematically explored caregiver expectations, psychosocial outcomes, and practical barriers to robot adoption — work that has collectively accumulated nearly 100 citations. His 2019 protocol paper (35 citations) and 2021 qualitative study on caregiver expectations (23 citations) are particularly influential, shaping how researchers and clinicians think about integrating robotic technology into dementia care pathways. Prodromou's body of work offers both methodological rigor and compassionate focus, making him a notable voice in the growing field of assistive health technologies.
