About

Sanjith Aaron is a rising leader in rehabilitation robotics, dedicated to making advanced therapy accessible in low-resource settings. His research focuses on the development and deployment of home-based robotic systems for stroke rehabilitation, with a particular emphasis on usability, feasibility, and real-world barriers in India. Aaron’s most cited work, “Long-term Usability and Feasibility of Home-Based Hand Therapy With the Plug-And-Train Hand Rehabilitation Robot (PLUTO)” (2023, 3 citations), demonstrates the practical viability of bringing robotic therapy into patients’ homes, addressing a critical gap in post-stroke care. His subsequent pilot feasibility study (2024, 2 citations) systematically identifies the facilitators and barriers to home-based robotic rehabilitation in India, offering essential insights for scaling such technologies in low/middle-income countries. Though early in his career, Aaron’s work is already shaping the conversation around equitable access to neurorehabilitation. By tackling both technical design and implementation challenges, he is laying the groundwork for a future where robotic therapy is not confined to high-cost clinical settings but is a practical, everyday tool for recovery.
