About
Elizabeth Nguyen’s research sits at the intersection of pediatric surgery and rehabilitation robotics, driven by a commitment to improving patient outcomes through technology. Her most cited work, a 2017 study on reducing surgical fog with a warm humidified gas management protocol, demonstrated a significant reduction in procedure time for pediatric robot-assisted laparoscopic surgeries—a practical contribution that has earned 9 citations and influenced operating room best practices. More recently, Nguyen has pioneered the use of mobile manipulators in physical therapy. Her 2024 paper, "Stretch with Stretch," introduces a novel system where a robot leads exercise games for patients, targeting low adherence in self-guided regimens for conditions like Parkinson’s disease. This work addresses critical shortages in physical therapists by creating engaging, robot-led sessions that encourage consistent participation. By bridging surgical efficiency and rehabilitation engagement, Nguyen’s research showcases a versatile approach to applying robotics in clinical settings. Her evolving portfolio highlights a dedication to solving real-world healthcare challenges, from the operating table to the therapy room, making her a rising voice in human-robot interaction and medical robotics.
