About

Konrad Rejdak is a prominent researcher at the intersection of neurology, cognitive impairment, and assistive robotics, with a particular focus on developing technological solutions for elderly patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and multiple sclerosis. His work is closely tied to the European RAMCIP project, which aimed to design and deploy socially intelligent service robots capable of providing proactive, discreet support to cognitively impaired individuals in their home environments. Rejdak's most significant contributions include pioneering user-centered methodologies for identifying the needs of dementia patients and medical staff — work that has garnered over 83 citations — and leading clinical assessments of human-robot interaction that evaluate usability, attractiveness, and societal impact of robotic assistants. His research extends to affective computing, exploring how robots can express emotions to enhance communication with vulnerable users. With a combined citation count exceeding 200, Rejdak has shaped conversations around the ethical and practical deployment of assistive technologies in healthcare. His interdisciplinary approach — bridging clinical neurology, human-robot interaction, and patient advocacy — makes his work essential reading for researchers and practitioners working to address the growing global challenge of dementia care.
