About
Dr. Ngiap Chuan Tan is a pioneering primary care researcher whose work bridges healthcare delivery and innovative technology. His key research areas include healthcare-assistive robotics, infection control in outpatient settings, and patient-centered care models. Dr. Tan’s major contribution is the development and evaluation of the Healthcare-assistive Infection-control RObot (HIRO), a novel robotic system deployed in primary care clinics to sanitize premises, monitor body temperature and mask compliance, and guide patients to service points. His foundational study, "Introducing a healthcare-assistive robot in primary care," has garnered early citations, signaling growing interest in robotic integration into frontline healthcare. This work addresses critical challenges in infection prevention and workflow efficiency, particularly relevant in the post-pandemic era. Dr. Tan’s research demonstrates how robotics can augment clinical staff, reduce transmission risks, and improve patient experience in community-based care. His achievements include advancing the practical application of assistive technologies in real-world primary care settings, positioning him as a leader in the emerging field of healthcare robotics. His work continues to inspire further studies on human-robot interaction and the scalability of such interventions in diverse healthcare environments.
