Kathrin Seibert

About

Kathrin Seibert is a leading researcher at the intersection of nursing science and digital health, with a focused expertise on the effectiveness and implementation of digital technologies in care settings. Her work critically evaluates how tools ranging from robotic assistance to broader digital platforms can support both patients and the nursing workforce. In her landmark scoping review, “Effectiveness of Digital Technologies to Support Nursing Care” (2020), which has garnered over 115 citations, Seibert systematically mapped the evidence on technologies impacting care recipients, caregivers, and institutions, providing a foundational framework for the field. She has further advanced this area by investigating the practical challenges and scenarios for robotic assistance in nursing, as well as developing a novel robotic system designed to anchor patients in lateral positions—a direct response to reducing the significant physical strain on nurses. Through this combination of rigorous evidence synthesis and applied engineering, Seibert’s work is pivotal in shaping a future where technology genuinely enhances, rather than complicates, human-centered care.
