About
Jesseca Paquette is a researcher working at the intersection of social robotics and mental health care, exploring how emerging technologies can expand and enhance therapeutic intervention options. Her most prominent contribution is a widely recognized scoping review examining social robot interventions in mental health care settings, which has garnered 77 citations since its publication in 2022 — a remarkable uptake that speaks to the timeliness and relevance of her work. In this landmark study, Paquette systematically mapped the outcomes, barriers, and facilitators associated with deploying social robots as therapeutic tools, addressing a critical gap in understanding how these innovations can realistically be integrated into clinical practice. Her research responds to a pressing global need for alternative mental health modalities, situating technology as a potential ally in care delivery. By synthesizing existing evidence in an accessible and rigorous format, Paquette has helped lay the groundwork for future empirical studies and policy considerations in this emerging field. Her work is essential reading for clinicians, technologists, and health researchers interested in the evolving role of artificial intelligence and robotics in supporting human psychological well-being.
