About

Charlotte Safos is a pioneering researcher in assistive technology and telerehabilitation, with a focus on improving communication and therapeutic outcomes for children with disabilities. Her work centers on the intersection of robotics, secure telemonitoring systems, and speech-language therapy, aiming to bridge clinical care with home-based interventions. Safos’s most notable contribution is the development of a secure telemonitoring system that transformed the CosmoBot—a motivating, computer-based play character designed to enhance children’s communication skills—into a telerehabilitation platform. This innovation, detailed in her 2008 paper (14 citations), enables remote delivery of speech-language therapy, expanding access for children with communication disorders. Her 2009 case study on therapeutic robotics (3 citations) further explores how biomedical technology can profoundly enhance the lives of children with disabilities, offering insights into personalized, technology-driven interventions. Although her citation counts are modest, Safos’s work represents an early and impactful step in integrating robotics and telemedicine for pediatric rehabilitation, laying groundwork for accessible, engaging therapeutic tools that empower families and clinicians alike.
