About

Michael Minge is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction and user-centered design, with a particular focus on rehabilitation technologies and assistive systems. His work bridges engineering, psychology, and clinical practice to improve patient outcomes through intuitive technology. A key contribution is his research on the user-centered design of haptic robot-based telerehabilitation systems for stroke patients, exemplified by his 2017 paper on developing a patient workstation for remote therapy. This work addresses a critical gap—enabling continued rehabilitation after hospital discharge by making robotic therapy devices accessible for home use. Minge’s approach emphasizes rigorous usability testing and iterative design to ensure that complex medical interfaces are accessible to patients with motor and cognitive impairments. While his most-cited paper has garnered 5 citations, its impact lies in laying foundational principles for patient-centered telerehabilitation. His broader portfolio includes studies on multimodal interaction, user experience evaluation methods, and adaptive interfaces for vulnerable populations. Minge’s research is notable for its practical, human-first orientation, directly influencing how rehabilitation technologies are designed to be both effective and usable in real-world clinical and home settings.
