About
Dr. Julie Faieta is a leading researcher in assistive technology and occupational therapy, with a focus on enhancing independence and quality of life for individuals with disabilities. Her work centers on the integration of robotic systems, such as wheelchair-mounted robotic arms (WMRAs), into daily living activities, bridging the gap between cutting-edge engineering and clinical practice. In her highly cited 2021 study, "Wheelchair-mounted robotic arms: a survey of occupational therapists’ practices and perspectives," Dr. Faieta investigated the underutilization of WMRAs in occupational therapy, revealing critical barriers and opportunities for adoption. This work has garnered 8 citations and is pivotal in shaping how clinicians and engineers collaborate to deploy assistive technologies effectively. Beyond this, Dr. Faieta’s research spans human-robot interaction, user-centered design, and rehabilitation outcomes, with a commitment to translating technological innovations into practical, accessible solutions. Her contributions have informed best practices and policy recommendations, making her a key voice in the assistive technology community. For students and researchers, Dr. Faieta exemplifies how interdisciplinary research can drive meaningful change in healthcare and disability studies.
