About
Lea Wiehe is a researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics and human–technology interaction, with a focus on stroke recovery. Her work investigates how patients and clinicians accept and experience robotic systems over extended periods of use—a critical but often overlooked factor in real-world clinical adoption. In her pilot study on the Bi-Manu-Interact (BMI) robotic demonstrator, Wiehe tracked technology acceptance and user experience across ten therapy sessions, revealing long-term shifts in patient attitudes that challenge single-session evaluations. Though early in her career, with her most-cited paper garnering 2 citations, her research addresses a vital gap: the sustainability of robotic rehabilitation beyond novelty effects. By centering longitudinal user experience, Wiehe’s contributions help bridge engineering design and clinical practice, ensuring that assistive technologies remain engaging and effective over time. Her work is particularly valuable for students and researchers developing human-centered rehabilitation tools, as it underscores the importance of iterative, real-world testing in shaping technologies that truly support long-term recovery.
