About

Karolina Berg investigates the intersection of robotics and healthcare, focusing on how assistive technologies can alleviate the burdens faced by medical personnel. Her research centers on human-robot interaction in clinical settings, with particular attention to workload management and staff well-being. In her most cited work, "Workload of Rehabilitation Healthcare Personnel When Assisted by a Robot" (2023), Berg conducted a pioneering study examining how the human-like robot EVE could support healthcare workers in their daily tasks. This research is critically important, as high workload in rehabilitation settings has been linked to compromised patient safety, reduced job satisfaction, and increased staff turnover. By demonstrating how robotic assistance can mitigate these adverse impacts, Berg's work contributes to the growing field of socially assistive robotics and offers practical solutions for healthcare systems facing workforce challenges. Her findings provide valuable insights for designing human-centered robotic systems that enhance rather than replace human caregivers, making her a notable voice in the ongoing conversation about technology's role in healthcare delivery.
