About

Dr. Shaikhah Alenezi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, healthcare, and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on developing intelligent systems to support individuals with neurodegenerative conditions. Her most impactful work, "Robot-based solution for helping Alzheimer patients" (2024, 9 citations), introduces a novel robotic intervention designed to mitigate the cognitive and functional decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. This research addresses the urgent need for scalable, non-pharmacological support by leveraging human-robot interaction to assist with memory recall, daily task guidance, and social engagement. Dr. Alenezi’s contributions are particularly significant given the progressive nature of Alzheimer’s—an irreversible brain disease that destroys memory, thinking, and the ability to carry out daily activities—and her work offers a promising pathway to enhance patient independence and caregiver relief. By integrating robotics into clinical care, she has laid foundational groundwork for future assistive technologies in geriatric neurology. Her research not only advances engineering solutions but also demonstrates a deep commitment to improving quality of life for vulnerable populations, making her a notable voice in the growing field of socially assistive robotics.
