About
Marcus Garthaus is a leading researcher at the intersection of nursing science, gerontology, and human-robot interaction. His work centers on the ethical, practical, and organizational integration of robotic systems into care environments, with a particular emphasis on reflective implementation and stakeholder engagement. Garthaus’s most notable contribution is the development of the “READY?” framework—a reflective dialog tool designed to help care institutions systematically assess the implications of adopting robotic technologies. This tool, which combines a digitally supported question catalog with participatory workshops, enables facilities to critically evaluate ethical concerns, workflow impacts, and care quality before deployment. While his work is still gaining traction—with his flagship paper accumulating 2 citations in its first year—its practical, institution-focused approach positions it as a foundational resource for evidence-based robotics adoption in nursing. Garthaus’s research is particularly valuable for practitioners and policymakers seeking to bridge the gap between technological innovation and compassionate, human-centered care. His contributions highlight a growing need for structured reflection in an era of rapid automation in healthcare.
