About

Svenja Breuer is a researcher working at the intersection of human-computer interaction, responsible technology design, and the ethics of artificial intelligence and robotics, with a particular focus on healthcare applications. Her work critically examines how engineers' assumptions and imaginaries shape the development of healthcare technologies, revealing how these often-overlooked perspectives profoundly influence design decisions and user engagement outcomes. Her most cited work (45 citations) offers a compelling case study of geriatric care robotics, demonstrating that truly human-centered AI requires scrutiny of the developers themselves, not just end users. Breuer has made significant contributions to the emerging field of embedded ethics, advocating for interdisciplinary frameworks that integrate social, legal, and ethical analysis throughout the entire innovation process rather than as an afterthought. Her research on peer-to-peer collaboration within research teams and her examination of German policy imaginaries surrounding healthcare digitalization further illustrate her commitment to understanding how technological futures are socially constructed and governed. With nearly 90 cumulative citations across recent publications, Breuer is establishing herself as a thoughtful voice in responsible robotics and AI governance, offering practical guidance for researchers and policymakers navigating the complex social dimensions of emerging healthcare technologies.
