About
Liran Kalderon is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation science and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on vestibular disorders. Her research centers on understanding how technology—especially socially assistive robots—can be designed to improve patient adherence to rehabilitation exercises. In her most cited work, a 2024 study with 4 citations, Kalderon led a qualitative investigation that gathered input from 39 patients and physical therapists through six focus groups. The study revealed a critical insight: while socially assistive robots hold promise for boosting exercise adherence, stakeholders expressed a stronger preference for simpler, more accessible solutions like phone applications. This finding challenges assumptions in the field and underscores Kalderon’s commitment to patient-centered design. By prioritizing stakeholder perspectives, she ensures that technological interventions are not only innovative but truly practical for clinical use. Her work has implications for the future of vestibular rehabilitation, where adherence is often a barrier to recovery. Kalderon’s research is a valuable reminder that in the rush to adopt advanced robotics, we must first ask: *Do we really need this robot?*
