About

Matthew O.B. Olaogun is a leading figure in neurorehabilitation and assistive technology in Africa, with a research focus on expanding access to rehabilitation robotics and neurorehabilitation services across the continent. His most cited work, "Africa region: Nigeria" (2023), provides a foundational overview of rehabilitation challenges and opportunities in one of Africa’s most populous nations, earning 2 citations. A landmark contribution is his role in the 2024 ICORR-SASNET Ghana Neurorehabilitation Robotics workshop, which convened 22 speakers and 27 attendees from nine countries in Accra, Ghana. The resulting proceedings, "Pragmatic recommendations to improve access to rehabilitation robots, assistive technologies and neurorehabilitation services in Africa" (2025), outline actionable strategies to bridge the gap in rehabilitation technology access, addressing critical needs in low-resource settings. Olaogun’s work is pivotal in shaping policy and practice for neurorehabilitation in Africa, highlighting the urgent need for scalable, culturally adapted solutions. His efforts have positioned him as a key advocate for integrating robotics and assistive technologies into African healthcare systems, with growing influence in global rehabilitation discourse.
