About

Dominik Schulz is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction and telemedicine, with a focus on how embodiment shapes user experience in healthcare settings. His work critically examines the role of telepresence robots in improving remote healthcare delivery, particularly for aging populations in rural areas. In his highly cited study, *Investigating the effects of embodiment on presence and perception in remote physician video consultations*, Schulz demonstrated through a between-participants experiment that telepresence robots significantly enhance the sense of presence and patient perception compared to standard tablet-based consultations. This work, with 5 citations, provides foundational evidence for designing more effective remote care systems. Additionally, his ethnographic study, *Exploring technical implications and design opportunities for interactive and engaging telepresence robots in rehabilitation*, earned 4 citations by identifying key design opportunities through direct observation and interviews with patients and healthcare professionals. Schulz’s research bridges technical innovation with human-centered design, offering actionable insights for developing socio-robotic systems that support recovery. His contributions are vital for advancing digital health equity and creating more engaging, interactive assistive technologies for vulnerable populations.
