About

Febe Anna Kooij-Meijer is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, healthcare technology, and dementia care. Her work focuses on how assistive robotic systems can be effectively integrated into home-care environments to support both individuals with mild cognitive impairment and the caregivers who look after them. Her most-cited study, "Translating Care Needs into Robotic Assistance: How Caregivers Are Onboarded in the Deployment of Commercial Robots in Home Settings" (2026), examines the critical yet often overlooked process of onboarding caregivers when introducing commercial robots into real-world home-care practices. This research addresses pressing societal challenges—rising dementia rates, workforce shortages, and caregiver burnout—by exploring how technology can alleviate rather than add to care burdens. With 2 citations already in a short time, her work is gaining traction among scholars in human-robot interaction and gerontechnology. Kooij-Meijer’s contributions are notable for centering the human experience in technological deployment, ensuring that robotic assistance is not just technically feasible but practically and emotionally sustainable for families and professional caregivers alike.
