About
Lisa Bell-Graham is a leading researcher in pediatric healthcare technology, with a focus on reducing procedural pain and anxiety in children. Her most impactful work centers on the innovative use of humanoid robots, such as the MEDi® robot, to transform the experience of medical procedures for young patients. In her landmark randomized-controlled trial, she demonstrated that a robot programmed to teach deep breathing can significantly lower children's pain and fear during IV line placement, a common and distressing procedure. This study, which has garnered 15 citations, is a cornerstone in the emerging field of robot-assisted pediatric care. Bell-Graham’s contributions are notable for bridging child psychology, nursing, and robotics, offering a scalable, non-pharmacological intervention that empowers children with coping strategies. Her work not only advances clinical practice but also opens new avenues for technology-driven compassionate care, making her a key figure in improving pediatric patient outcomes.
