About

Przemysław Kucharski is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction, persuasive technology, and workplace well-being. His most notable contribution is the development of APEOW (A Personal Persuasive Avatar for Encouraging Breaks in Office Work), a system that leverages a personalized robot avatar to nudge office workers toward taking proper breaks. This research addresses a critical health issue: prolonged sedentary office work increases the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and heart disease. By designing a socially engaging, persuasive avatar, Kucharski’s work demonstrates how technology can proactively shape healthier behaviors in real-world settings. Though his most-cited paper has garnered 7 citations, its impact lies in its innovative approach to blending robotics, personalization, and behavioral science. Kucharski’s research offers a compelling example of how human-centered computing can directly improve daily life, making him a notable voice in the growing field of digital health interventions.
