About
Dor Raz is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of socially assistive robotics and neurorehabilitation, with a focus on developing human-centered technologies for individuals with Parkinson’s disease (IwPD). Her most cited work, a 2023 participatory-design study, introduces a novel robotic platform that integrates cognitive-motor exercises specifically tailored for Parkinson’s rehabilitation. By involving end users—patients, clinicians, and caregivers—throughout the design process, Raz’s research bridges the gap between technical innovation and real-world clinical needs. This study, which has already garnered 7 citations, demonstrates the feasibility and potential of socially assistive robots (SAR) to deliver personalized, engaging therapy beyond traditional settings like stroke rehabilitation. Raz’s major contribution lies in her user-driven methodology, ensuring that robotic interventions are not only effective but also acceptable and motivating for chronic populations. Her work has been recognized for its translational impact, offering a scalable model for future assistive technologies. Through her research, Raz is shaping a new paradigm in rehabilitation robotics, where empathy and adaptability are as critical as algorithmic precision.
