About
Elena Beani is a leading researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation science and digital health, with a primary focus on understanding the human factors that drive successful adoption of robotic and allied technologies in clinical settings. Her work critically examines the gap between technological innovation and real-world implementation, particularly in neurorehabilitation. In her highly cited 2025 study, “Healthcare practitioners and robotic-assisted rehabilitation: understanding needs and barriers” (16 citations), Beani systematically identifies the practical obstacles and unmet needs of clinicians, offering a foundational framework for designing user-centered robotic systems. She further advances this agenda through a systematic review (7 citations) that proposes novel tools for assessing patient needs, directly addressing a critical barrier to technology integration. By centering the perspectives of both practitioners and patients, Beani’s research provides essential evidence for bridging the divide between engineering and clinical practice. Her contributions are vital for ensuring that the next generation of rehabilitation technologies are not only innovative but also truly responsive to the people who use them.
