About

Mona Schweitzer is a leading researcher in nursing robotics and technology acceptance, with a focus on the intersection of healthcare innovation and human-centered design. Her work centers on understanding how professional nurses, care recipients, and their relatives perceive and adopt robotic systems in nursing care—a critical area as healthcare systems worldwide face workforce shortages and aging populations. Schweitzer’s most-cited study, "Acceptance of a robotic system for nursing care: a cross-sectional survey with professional nurses, care recipients and relatives" (2024, 20 citations), provides foundational insights into the complex factors shaping end-user acceptance of assistive technologies. By examining diverse stakeholder perspectives, she has illuminated key barriers and facilitators to robotic integration in daily nursing practice, offering evidence-based guidance for developers and policymakers. Her research is notable for its pragmatic, multi-actor approach, bridging the gap between technical innovation and real-world clinical implementation. Schweitzer’s contributions are vital for designing robotic systems that are not only functional but also trusted and embraced by those they aim to support, making her a pivotal voice in the future of care technology.
