About
Pingting Tan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of healthcare robotics and primary care innovation. Her work focuses on developing and evaluating assistive technologies that enhance infection control and patient flow in clinical settings. Tan’s landmark study, “Introducing a healthcare-assistive robot in primary care,” introduced the Healthcare-assistive Infection-control RObot (HIRO)—a multifunctional robot designed to sanitize premises, monitor temperatures and mask compliance, and guide patients to service points. This preliminary questionnaire survey, which has garnered 3 citations, laid critical groundwork for understanding human-robot interaction in real-world outpatient environments. Tan’s contributions are particularly significant in the context of post-pandemic healthcare, where automated infection prevention is paramount. By bridging robotics engineering with clinical practice, she addresses pressing challenges in primary care capacity and safety. Her work not only demonstrates the feasibility of deploying socially assistive robots in sensitive settings but also provides foundational insights for future implementations. Tan’s research stands as a vital step toward scalable, technology-driven solutions that support healthcare workers and improve patient experiences, marking her as an emerging voice in healthcare robotics and digital health transformation.
