About

Per Kristensson is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction and assistive technologies for elderly care, with a particular focus on user-centered design and the integration of robotic systems in healthcare environments. His most-cited work, "Elderly and care personnel’s user experiences of a robotic shower" (2020, 15 citations), exemplifies his commitment to understanding the dual perspectives of both end-users and caregivers. In this study, Kristensson employed an explorative qualitative approach, interviewing elderly individuals and care personnel before the installation of a robotic shower to capture their expectations and concerns. This research highlights his broader contributions to the field, including the development of frameworks for evaluating user acceptance and the design of robotic systems that prioritize dignity, safety, and ease of use. Kristensson’s work has been instrumental in shaping how assistive robots are perceived and implemented in geriatric care settings, influencing both academic discourse and practical applications. His findings underscore the importance of involving all stakeholders in the design process, a principle that has earned him recognition as a thoughtful and impactful voice in human-robot interaction.
