About
Isabell Anna Just is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and wearable robotics. Her work focuses on developing and testing innovative movement therapies for patients with advanced heart failure and severe pulmonary diseases, particularly those awaiting lung transplantation. Just's major contributions include demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and tolerability of using lightweight, exoskeleton-type robots—specifically the Myosuit—to assist critically ill patients with activities of daily living. Her 2022 pilot study on movement therapy in advanced heart failure (13 citations) and her companion study on lung transplantation candidates (5 citations) provide foundational evidence that robotic-assisted mobilization can be a viable intervention for some of the most debilitated patient populations. By bridging the gap between high-tech rehabilitation engineering and clinical practice, Just is helping to redefine what is possible for patients with end-stage organ failure, offering new hope for improved functional capacity and quality of life. Her work represents a critical step toward integrating wearable robotics into standard care for complex, high-risk patients.
