About
Amrei Mehler-Klamt is a leading researcher at the intersection of nursing science, assistive robotics, and intensive care medicine, with a particular focus on how robotic systems can transform patient care and support healthcare professionals. Her most influential work, a 2023 scoping review on assistive robotic systems in nursing care (81 citations), established a comprehensive evidence base for understanding how such technologies can relieve overburdened nursing staff. Building on this foundation, Mehler-Klamt has made pioneering contributions to the emerging field of robot-assisted early mobilization in intensive care units, investigating systems like VEMOTION® through feasibility studies, clinical trials, and cohort analyses. Her research consistently addresses a critical clinical challenge: the underimplementation of early mobilization due to staff shortages and patient safety concerns, conditions that contribute to ICU-acquired weakness in roughly one in three critical illness survivors. By combining qualitative, quantitative, and longitudinal methodologies, she offers a uniquely holistic perspective on both patient outcomes and clinician experience. With nearly 160 total citations and a growing publication record spanning 2021 to 2025, Mehler-Klamt is rapidly establishing herself as a key voice shaping the future of robotic-assisted rehabilitation and smart nursing care.
