About
Melanie Mauch is a researcher focused on the intersection of gerontechnology, nursing science, and digital health innovation, with a particular emphasis on how care professionals interact with emerging assistive technologies. Her most cited work, "Wie Pflegekräfte im ambulanten Bereich den Einsatz von Telepräsenzsystemen einschätzen" (2019), examines how home care nurses evaluate the use of telepresence systems (TPS) to support elderly patients and promote autonomous living. This study, with 12 citations, provides critical insights into the practical acceptance and perceived utility of robotic assistance devices in real-world care settings. Mauch’s research contributes to understanding the human factors that determine successful technology adoption in healthcare, bridging the gap between technical development and clinical practice. Her work is particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring how digital tools can enhance care quality while respecting the expertise of nursing professionals. By focusing on user perspectives, Mauch highlights the importance of designing technologies that genuinely support—rather than replace—human caregivers in the evolving landscape of home-based elderly care.
