About
Noel Young is a researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and advanced medical imaging, whose work addresses critical challenges in both patient care and diagnostic accuracy. His primary research areas include human-robot interaction for healthcare, motion correction in CT imaging, and the application of depth-sensing technologies in clinical settings. Young’s most impactful contribution is his 2018 study on assistive robotic technology to combat social isolation in acute hospital settings, which has garnered 41 citations and highlights the potential of socially assistive robots to improve patient well-being during hospitalization. In a notable technical achievement, he led the characterization of the Intel RealSense D415 stereo depth camera for motion-corrected CT imaging, addressing a key limitation in acute ischemic stroke evaluation. This work demonstrated how depth sensors can compensate for intra-frame head motion during CT perfusion scans, potentially improving diagnostic reliability. Young’s research bridges the gap between patient-centered robotics and precision imaging, offering practical solutions that enhance both the human experience and technical accuracy in healthcare environments.
