About
Lynn Reid is a leading researcher in stroke rehabilitation, with a particular focus on the real-world adoption of assistive technologies. Her work bridges the critical gap between technological innovation and clinical practice, examining why promising rehabilitation tools—such as robotics and smartphone-based systems—often fail to gain traction in everyday care. In her landmark qualitative study, "Adoption of Stroke Rehabilitation Technologies by the User Community" (2018, 39 citations), Reid conducted in-depth interviews with clinicians, patients, and caregivers to uncover the social, practical, and systemic barriers that hinder technology uptake. This paper has become a foundational reference for researchers and developers seeking to design user-centered rehabilitation interventions. Beyond this work, Reid’s broader contributions include advocating for inclusive design processes that prioritize the lived experiences of stroke survivors and rehabilitation professionals. Her research has informed policy discussions and training programs aimed at improving technology integration in clinical settings. With a career dedicated to translating evidence into practice, Lynn Reid continues to shape how the rehabilitation community thinks about innovation, implementation, and meaningful patient outcomes.
