About
Patrick Boissy is a pioneering researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, telehealth, and assistive technology for aging populations. Over the course of more than a decade, he has made foundational contributions to the design, evaluation, and deployment of telepresence robots for home-based care — a field with profound implications for how societies support elderly and disabled individuals living independently in the community. Boissy's most influential work, a 2007 qualitative study garnering 98 citations, established critical user requirements for in-home robotic telepresence by engaging both healthcare professionals and elderly end-users — a methodological approach that set a human-centered standard for the field. His subsequent research refined robot teleoperation interfaces, with a comparative analysis of 3D interfaces (76 citations) and explorations of homecare teleassistive systems (59 citations) demonstrating sustained, systematic inquiry into usability and accessibility. His development and testing of the TELEROBOT platform exemplifies his commitment to translating research into practical clinical tools. With a body of work accumulating over 370 citations, Boissy has helped shape how researchers and clinicians conceptualize robotic assistance in home healthcare. Students interested in rehabilitation engineering, human-robot interaction, or geriatric telehealth will find his portfolio an essential reference point for evidence-based design in assistive robotics.
