About
Azriel Kaplan is a researcher dedicated to understanding how robotic and assistive technologies can meet the real-world needs of people with neurological conditions. Their work centers on patient-centered design, particularly for Parkinson’s disease and vestibular rehabilitation. In a pivotal 2023 focus group study (14 citations), Kaplan explored the needs, attitudes, and concerns of individuals with Parkinson’s and their families regarding robotic technology, revealing crucial insights into the acceptance and barriers to such interventions. Building on this, a 2024 study (4 citations) investigated technology requirements for vestibular rehabilitation, gathering input from both patients and clinicians to assess the potential of socially assistive robots. A key finding was that a simpler phone application was often preferred over a robot for boosting exercise adherence, highlighting Kaplan’s commitment to pragmatic, user-informed solutions. By centering stakeholder voices, Kaplan’s research ensures that technological innovation aligns with genuine clinical and personal needs, making a significant impact on the future of neurorehabilitation.
