About
Yuxiu Lei is a leading researcher in healthcare robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on how telepresence technologies reshape clinical workflows and interprofessional dynamics. Her most-cited work, “Does Robotic Telerounding Enhance Nurse–Physician Collaboration Satisfaction About Care Decisions?” (2015, 32 citations), is a landmark study that empirically examined the impact of remote robotic rounding on nurse-physician communication in intensive care units. Lei’s research uniquely bridges engineering and social science, demonstrating that robotic telepresence can significantly improve collaboration satisfaction around care decisions—a critical factor in patient safety and team efficiency. By quantifying the relational benefits of telerounding, her work has informed the design and deployment of telemedicine systems in high-stakes environments. Beyond this study, Lei has contributed to understanding how robotic interfaces affect trust, workload, and decision-making among healthcare teams. Her findings are widely cited by researchers in medical informatics, human factors engineering, and critical care, underscoring her role in advancing evidence-based telemedicine. Lei’s scholarship continues to guide the integration of robotics into collaborative healthcare, making her a key voice in the future of patient-centered, technology-enabled care.
