About
Dag Tomas Sagen Johannesen is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics, human-robot interaction, and disability studies. His work focuses on how humanoid robots can empower individuals with physical disabilities to live more independently, addressing critical gaps in care provision amid aging populations and shrinking caregiver availability. Johannesen’s major contributions include a landmark scoping review (19 citations) that systematically mapped the landscape of humanoid robots for activities of daily living, providing a foundational evidence base for the field. His qualitative studies on user acceptance (10 citations) and care-receivers’ perceptions (8 citations) offer rare, firsthand insights into how people with physical disabilities experience and evaluate robotic assistants—moving beyond technical feasibility to center user perspectives. By grounding his research in frameworks like P5 medicine (personalized, participatory, preventive, predictive, and precision-focused), Johannesen bridges engineering, healthcare, and social science. His work is notable for its rigorous methodology (e.g., Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR guidelines) and its direct relevance to designing ethical, acceptable assistive technologies. With citations accumulating rapidly in 2024, Johannesen is shaping the future of inclusive robotics.
