About
Izabela Perenc’s research lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction, persuasive technology, and workplace well-being. Her most cited work, “APEOW: A Personal Persuasive Avatar for Encouraging Breaks in Office Work” (2016, 7 citations), introduces a novel system that leverages a personalized robot avatar to nudge sedentary office workers toward healthier break-taking habits. By addressing the critical need to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and reduce cardiovascular risks, Perenc demonstrates how socially embodied agents can serve as effective, non-intrusive interventions in everyday work environments. Her contribution is notable for blending behavioral science with accessible robotics, offering a scalable solution to a pervasive occupational health challenge. Though her citation count is modest, the impact of her work is amplified by its practical relevance and interdisciplinary appeal—bridging ergonomics, persuasive design, and human-robot interaction. Perenc’s research stands as a thoughtful example of how technology can be harnessed not just for productivity, but for human flourishing, making her a promising voice in the growing field of digital health interventions.
