About
Dr. Samantha Kreps is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, digital health, and adolescent behavioral science. Her work focuses on designing and evaluating technology-based interventions to promote physical activity and well-being among diverse youth populations. In her highly cited pilot study, "Acceptability of Robotic-Assisted Exercise Coaching Among Diverse Youth," Dr. Kreps demonstrated that socially assistive robots can serve as engaging, non-judgmental exercise coaches for adolescents—a critical finding given that nearly 80% of youth fail to meet national physical activity guidelines. This foundational work, which has garnered 9 citations, has opened new avenues for using embodied AI to address health disparities. Dr. Kreps is recognized for her innovative, human-centered approach to digital health, and her research continues to shape how we leverage emerging technologies to foster healthy behaviors in young people. Her contributions are paving the way for more inclusive, effective, and engaging health interventions.
