About

Bernhard Kraft is a forward-thinking researcher in the fields of geriatric care, nursing robotics, and digital-assistive technologies (DAT). His work critically examines how robotic systems and AI-driven tools are reshaping care workflows, professional qualifications, and patient-provider interactions. Kraft’s most cited paper, “Roboter – die neuen Kollegen im Team?” (2023), explores the integration of robots into nursing teams, highlighting the resulting shifts in skill requirements and care processes. Drawing from surveys of nursing professionals, he reveals both the potential and the anxieties surrounding human-robot collaboration in healthcare. With over 3 citations and growing influence, Kraft’s research is essential reading for anyone interested in the socio-technical transformation of care work. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging practical training needs with ethical and organizational challenges, making him a key voice in debates on the future of elderly care. Kraft’s work not only documents change but actively informs how caregivers, educators, and policymakers can prepare for a robot-assisted care landscape.
