About
Dr. Marjan Horvat is a leading researcher in the fields of rehabilitation engineering, assistive technology, and human–computer interaction, with a particular focus on making advanced therapeutic tools accessible and affordable. His most-cited work, a 2021 case study on the design and implementation of a platform for hand rehabilitation, addresses a critical gap in healthcare: the prohibitive cost of rehabilitation aids that often limits their use to clinical settings. By leveraging rapid advances in software development, the Internet of Things (IoT), and robotics, Dr. Horvat pioneers low-cost, scalable solutions that empower patients to continue therapy outside of professional institutions. This work has garnered 21 citations and is widely recognized for its practical, user-centered approach to restoring motor function. His broader contributions include developing open-source frameworks and sensor-integrated systems that democratize access to rehabilitation technology. Dr. Horvat’s research not only advances engineering knowledge but also directly improves quality of life for individuals with temporary or permanent disabilities, making him a pivotal figure in the movement toward inclusive, technology-driven healthcare.
