About
Marieke Peters-Kop is a leading researcher at the intersection of geriatric care, health services research, and human-robot interaction. Her work focuses on developing and evaluating innovative, technology-driven solutions to address the global shortage of healthcare workers and the rising care demands of aging populations. Her most notable contribution is a landmark noninferiority randomized controlled trial that investigated the use of social robots to assist with patient interviews in integrated care pathways. This study, which has garnered 25 citations, demonstrated that older patients and their caregivers perceived the quality of care as equivalent whether interviewed by a human or assisted by a social robot. This finding is pivotal, suggesting that robotic assistance can be safely integrated into clinical workflows without compromising patient experience. By rigorously testing these technologies in real-world settings, Peters-Kop is helping to shape a future where robots serve as valuable allies in delivering compassionate, high-quality care to older adults.
