About
Stephanie Enger is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of radiology and human-robot interaction, whose work explores how emerging technologies can transform patient care in clinical imaging settings. Her primary research areas include patient communication, technology acceptance, and the integration of humanoid robots into medical workflows. Enger’s most notable contribution is her groundbreaking 2021 randomized controlled study comparing a humanoid robot to a tablet computer for delivering pre-MRI patient information. This work, which has garnered 10 citations, demonstrated that patients not only accept but may benefit from robot-administered instructions, offering a novel approach to reducing anxiety and improving knowledge transfer in radiology. By systematically evaluating usability and information retention, Enger has provided foundational evidence for the safe and effective deployment of social robots in high-stress clinical environments. Her research addresses critical challenges in patient-centered care, bridging gaps in health communication and technology adoption. As a rising voice in medical robotics, Enger’s work holds significant promise for reshaping how patients prepare for diagnostic procedures, making her a key figure to watch in the evolving landscape of AI-assisted healthcare.
