About
Kirsten Brukamp is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of healthcare, assistive technology, and social robotics. Her work primarily explores the implementation of robotic devices in nursing care, the ethical dimensions of assistive technologies for patients with neurodegenerative diseases, and the emerging field of computational commemoration. Her most cited paper, "Implementation of robotic devices in nursing care. Barriers and facilitators: an integrative review" (2020, 79 citations), provides a foundational analysis of the challenges and opportunities in integrating robots into clinical settings, offering critical insights for healthcare practitioners and policymakers. Brukamp also investigates the expectations and concerns surrounding assistive technology for ALS patients (2019), highlighting the nuanced human-technology interface in end-of-life care. More recently, she has ventured into the provocative realm of social robotics and digital memory, examining how representations of the dead through computational commemoration (2023) raise novel ethical and communicative questions. Her work is notable for bridging empirical implementation science with deep ethical reflection, making her a key voice in the responsible design and deployment of robotic systems in sensitive care contexts.
