About
Simone Lienenbrink is a leading researcher at the intersection of nursing science, ethics, and human-robot interaction. Her work focuses on the responsible integration of robotic systems into care settings, with a particular emphasis on institutional readiness and reflective practice. Her most notable contribution is the development of the “READY?” tool—a reflective dialog instrument designed to help care facilities critically assess the implications of deploying robotics in nursing care. This tool, introduced in her 2025 paper, guides institutions through a structured, workshop-based process that engages stakeholders in evaluating ethical, practical, and organizational considerations. Though early in its citation history, “READY?” represents a groundbreaking approach to technology assessment in healthcare, moving beyond technical feasibility to prioritize human-centered decision-making. Lienenbrink’s work is vital for ensuring that robotic systems enhance, rather than undermine, the quality of care and the dignity of patients and caregivers alike. Her research is essential reading for anyone interested in the ethical deployment of AI and robotics in sensitive social contexts.
