About
Hannah U. Holtkamp is a clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of dermatology, psychodermatology, and human-robot interaction. Her primary research focus is on the role of stress in chronic skin conditions, particularly psoriasis, and she investigates how innovative, non-pharmacological interventions can improve patient well-being. Her most cited work, a 2022 pilot study titled "The Effects of Interacting With a Paro Robot After a Stressor in Patients With Psoriasis," explores the feasibility of using a therapeutic robotic seal to reduce stress following a psychological stressor. This pioneering study, which has garnered 3 citations, provides early evidence that brief interactions with Paro may offer a novel, low-burden psychological intervention for dermatology patients. By bridging the gap between dermatological care and emerging technologies, Holtkamp’s research opens new avenues for managing the psychosomatic components of skin disease. Her work is particularly notable for its focus on patient-centered, stress-reducing strategies that could complement traditional treatments, making her a key voice in the growing field of psychodermatology and human-robot interaction in clinical settings.
