About
Dr. Khue Phan is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, with a focus on developing accessible, home-based solutions for stroke survivors. Their most notable contribution is the creation of HandMATE (Hand Movement Assisting Therapy Exoskeleton), a wearable robotic hand exoskeleton integrated with an Android app for at-home rehabilitation. This innovative system, detailed in their highly cited 2020 paper (48 citations), uses linear actuators to power each finger and thumb, providing precise flexion and extension assistance, while force-sensitive resistors enable real-time feedback. Dr. Phan’s work addresses a critical gap in post-stroke care by enabling patients to perform intensive, repetitive movement therapy outside clinical settings, significantly improving recovery outcomes and quality of life. Their research bridges robotics, human-computer interaction, and neurorehabilitation, earning recognition for its practical impact on patient autonomy. With a growing citation record, Dr. Phan continues to advance wearable robotics, making cutting-edge therapy more accessible and affordable for diverse populations.
