About
Andrej Bergauer is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of healthcare, robotics, and digital health, whose work focuses on integrating socially assistive humanoid robots and clinical decision support systems into nursing and surgical care. His research addresses critical challenges posed by population ageing, workforce shortages, and the rising burden on healthcare systems—issues starkly highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Bergauer’s major contributions include designing and evaluating protocols that explore how interactive digital assistants and humanoid robots can enhance patient engagement, improve perceived quality of care, and alleviate staff workload. His most-cited study (13 citations) surveys patient and professional attitudes toward robot integration in nursing, while a randomized controlled trial (7 citations) examines the impact of combining CDSS with humanoid robots during pre- and post-operative grand rounds. Bergauer’s work is notable for its rigorous, mixed-methods approach—blending clinical trials with ethical acceptability assessments—and for advancing the evidence base on how automation can support, rather than replace, human caregivers. His research is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of human-robot collaboration in healthcare.
