About
Deanna Koot is a researcher at the forefront of healthcare robotics, with a primary focus on integrating assistive technologies into primary care settings. Her most cited work, "Introducing a healthcare-assistive robot in primary care: a preliminary questionnaire survey" (2023), explores the deployment of the Healthcare-assistive Infection-control RObot (HIRO) in outpatient clinics. This robot is designed to sanitize premises, monitor individuals for temperature and mask compliance, and guide patients to service points—addressing critical infection control needs. Koot’s research evaluates user acceptance and operational feasibility, contributing valuable insights into human-robot interaction in real-world clinical environments. With 3 citations, this study lays groundwork for future implementations of autonomous systems in healthcare. Her work is notable for bridging engineering and patient care, emphasizing practical solutions to enhance safety and efficiency. Koot’s contributions are particularly relevant in a post-pandemic world, where robotic assistants can reduce infection risks and support overburdened healthcare staff. Her research continues to inform the design and adoption of assistive robots, making her a key voice in the evolving field of medical robotics.
