About
Novella Calamida is a researcher whose work sits at the vital intersection of robotics, healthcare, and human-centered design. Her primary research focus is on the development and evaluation of assistive technologies—specifically telepresence robots—to support both formal and informal caregivers in care settings. Her most notable contribution, a six-month case study published in 2023, provides deep, empirical insight into how these robots can be integrated into real-world care support services, moving beyond lab-based trials to examine long-term, practical utility. This work directly addresses the growing need for scalable solutions to caregiver burden, offering a nuanced understanding of the technology's impact on daily workflows and emotional support. While her citation count is still growing, the timeliness and relevance of her research position her as an emerging voice in the field of socially assistive robotics. Calamida’s work is particularly valuable for its focus on the human experience of care, ensuring that technological innovation is grounded in the genuine needs of those who provide and receive care.
