About

Kasia Tabeau is a researcher at the intersection of human-centered design, robotics, and digital health, with a focus on creating technologies that genuinely improve quality of life. Her work centers on co-creation and agile development methods for health information technologies and assistive robotics, ensuring that end-users—particularly older adults and people with healthcare needs—are active partners in design. In her highly cited 2019 paper (31 citations), she documented key lessons from co-designing an assistive robot for independent living, revealing practical insights into user engagement and robot functionality. Her 2021 work (30 citations) advanced a knowledge engineering framework for IoT robotics applied to smart healthcare and emotional well-being, bridging technical systems with human emotional needs. Most recently (2024), she tackled the methodological challenges of combining co-creation with agile development in health IT, a critical issue as user involvement becomes standard practice. Tabeau’s research is notable for its applied, interdisciplinary approach—merging engineering, healthcare, and participatory design—and for generating actionable frameworks that help developers build more responsive, ethical, and effective health technologies.
