About
Anooshe Ghanbarzadeh is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and pediatric healthcare. Her work focuses on leveraging social humanoid robots as therapeutic assistants to alleviate psychological distress in children undergoing cancer treatment. Her most cited studies, including "Impact of a Social Humanoid Robot as a Therapy Assistant in Children Cancer Treatment" (29 citations) and "Effect of utilizing a humanoid robot as a therapy-assistant in reducing anger, anxiety, and depression" (24 citations), demonstrate how robotic companions can mitigate the fear, anger, and depression that often accompany invasive medical procedures. By showing that distress—a major barrier to treatment acceptance and efficacy—can be reduced through robot-assisted therapy, Ghanbarzadeh has laid critical groundwork for integrating socially assistive robotics into clinical pediatric oncology. Her work not only advances the field of therapeutic robotics but also offers a compassionate, technology-driven approach to improving quality of life for young patients and their families.
