About
Astrid Kruppa is a leading researcher in healthcare innovation, specializing in the intersection of nursing science, digital health, and robotic process automation. Her work focuses on redesigning hospital workflows to reduce the burden of non-nursing tasks—such as excessive walking and service-related duties—that detract from direct patient care. Her most-cited study, a 2022 protocol published in a high-impact journal (17 citations), outlines a rigorous mixed-methods evaluation of a digital-robotic intervention for nurses and patients, grounded in the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework for complex interventions. This work is notable for its methodological triangulation, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches to assess both implementation and clinical outcomes. Kruppa’s research addresses a critical gap: the link between non-care-related workload and nurse dissatisfaction, demonstrating how automation can reclaim time for compassionate care. Her contributions are shaping evidence-based strategies for integrating robotics into hospital settings, with implications for staff well-being and patient experience. As a researcher, she bridges engineering and nursing, offering practical solutions to systemic inefficiencies in modern healthcare.
