About
Ewa Baum is a leading researcher in the intersection of robotics, gerontechnology, and healthcare optimization, with a particular focus on enhancing quality of life for aging populations. Her most cited work, "Robots for Elderly Care: Review, Multi-Criteria Optimization Model and Qualitative Case Study" (2023, 86 citations), exemplifies her dual contribution to the field: first, providing a comprehensive review of social and service robots in elderly care, and second, developing a pioneering multi-criteria optimization model that maximizes the efficiency of robot-to-elderly assignments. This model addresses the complex, real-world challenge of balancing care needs, resource constraints, and ethical considerations—a significant advancement over prior single-criterion approaches. Baum’s research is notable for its interdisciplinary rigor, bridging engineering, healthcare, and human-computer interaction. Her work has already shaped discussions on how autonomous systems can be integrated into care settings without compromising human dignity. By offering both a critical synthesis of existing technologies and a practical optimization framework, Baum has established herself as a key voice in the responsible deployment of assistive robotics, with implications for policy, design, and clinical practice.
