About

Betania Groba is a leading researcher at the intersection of assistive technology (AT), disability, and rehabilitation, with a core focus on optimizing human-technology interactions for people with disabilities. Her work is distinguished by a rigorous, person-centered approach that prioritizes the psychosocial impact and real-world effectiveness of AT, moving beyond mere functionality. She has made major contributions to the development and validation of comprehensive assessment frameworks, most notably through the MATCH study, which aims to ensure the best possible match between a user and their assistive device. Her research on robotic assistive technology for individuals with cerebral palsy is particularly impactful, demonstrating how robotic platforms can serve as a complementary and applicable tool for rehabilitation. With her most-cited works accumulating over 10 citations, Groba’s studies are foundational for clinicians and engineers seeking to design and implement AT that is both efficient and empowering. By focusing on outcome measures and user satisfaction, she is shaping a future where technology is not just advanced, but truly assistive and life-enhancing.
