About

Leanne Hassett is a leading researcher in rehabilitation science, with a focus on the real-world integration of advanced technologies into clinical practice. Her work critically examines how robotics and digital tools can enhance therapy dosage and patient outcomes while preserving the essential human elements of care. Through longitudinal studies embedded in actual rehabilitation settings, Hassett has documented both the promise and the practical challenges of technology adoption, including clinician engagement and workflow integration. Her 2024 study on clinician adoption of advanced technology (13 citations) and her 2025 qualitative work emphasizing that human interactions remain central to effective rehabilitation (4 citations) highlight her commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered innovation. By bridging the gap between technological potential and clinical reality, Hassett provides invaluable insights for practitioners and policymakers aiming to implement technology meaningfully. Her research is particularly influential for students and clinicians navigating the evolving landscape of rehabilitation, offering a balanced perspective on how to leverage innovation without losing the therapeutic relationship.
