About

Dr. Emmaline Wuensch is a leading voice in healthcare technology and patient safety, whose work bridges the gap between innovation and clinical practice. Her primary research focuses on the human-centered design and acceptance of robotic systems for fall prevention, a critical issue in geriatric and hospital care. In her landmark 2024 study, "Perceived Usefulness of Robotic Technology for Patient Fall Prevention," Dr. Wuensch applied the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to evaluate how clinicians perceive and adopt robotic aids. This work, already garnering 9 citations, demonstrates her ability to translate complex human factors into actionable insights for healthcare systems. Beyond this, Dr. Wuensch is recognized for her interdisciplinary approach, combining nursing science, engineering, and behavioral psychology to ensure new technologies are both effective and embraced by end-users. Her research has directly influenced the design of safer hospital environments and has been featured in key policy discussions on workplace injury reduction. For students and researchers, Dr. Wuensch’s work exemplifies how rigorous evaluation of user perceptions can drive the successful integration of robotics into high-stakes clinical settings.
