Empowering future care workforces: Scoping capabilities to leverage assistive robotics through co-design

O'Donovan, Cian; Kumar, Praveen

Abstract

This project aims to understand what kind of capabilities care professionals need to use physically assistive robotics on their own terms, and in ways that are safe, trustworthy, and meet the legal and ethical standards of their profession. Empowering health and social care professionals through digital training is urgently needed as governments invest in post-pandemic digital transformation. By using co-design approaches, a diverse and inclusive group of professionals, care receivers, family-members and partner organisations will scope the capability needs of today’s care professionals. And we will identify the conceptual building blocks of research infrastructure essential for empowering care workforces tomorrow.
