About
Dr. Siew Tiang Lau is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and healthcare, with a primary focus on improving the lives of vulnerable populations through assistive technologies. Her work centers on two key areas: pediatric chronic disease management and geriatric care. Dr. Lau’s most impactful contribution is her systematic scoping review on humanoid robot-assisted interventions for children with diabetes, which has garnered 30 citations and established a foundational framework for using social robots to support young patients in self-management and emotional well-being. More recently, she has pioneered the study of mobile telepresence robots for older adults, systematically unpacking their lived experiences to identify design and implementation challenges. This emerging work, while early in its citation trajectory, addresses a critical gap in aging-in-place technology. Dr. Lau’s research is notable for its rigorous synthesis of evidence, bridging engineering, psychology, and clinical practice. Her systematic reviews provide essential roadmaps for future intervention design, making her a vital voice in the ethical and effective deployment of robotics in healthcare.
