About
Nur Shafawati is a health economics and outcomes researcher whose work bridges clinical rehabilitation and cost-effectiveness analysis, with a particular focus on stroke recovery in Singapore. Her most cited study, a 2025 cost-effectiveness analysis of robotic exoskeleton versus conventional physiotherapy for stroke rehabilitation, has already garnered 13 citations, reflecting its timely relevance to healthcare decision-making. In this work, she conducted a probabilistic analysis across three patient groups stratified by Functional Ambulation Category scores, providing nuanced evidence on the economic viability of robotic-assisted therapy from a health system perspective. Shafawati’s contributions are significant for policymakers and clinicians seeking to allocate resources efficiently in rehabilitation settings, where emerging technologies promise improved outcomes but carry high upfront costs. By quantifying trade-offs between innovation and traditional care, she helps shape evidence-based guidelines for stroke rehabilitation in Singapore. Her research exemplifies the growing importance of health technology assessment in Southeast Asia, and her work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of rehabilitation science, health economics, and real-world implementation.
