Dr Simone KAGER

Dr Simone Kager completed her PhD in Rehabilitation Robotics in 2020 at National University of Singapore in close collaboration with Nanyang Technological University, where she developed and evaluated various interaction control paradigms to promote motor learning in stroke patients. Large parts of her work are now licensed to the spin-off company Articares Pte. Ltd.

Prior to returning to academia, Simone worked in the medical device industry, specifically at Brainlab Robotics and in the medical robotics department of Franka Emika, where she was in charge of developing regulatory pathways and leading technical developments.

Currently, she is a postdoctoral researcher at the Singapore-ETH Centre in the Module of Connected Rehabilitation Technology and Assistive Devices where she aims to understand what is required to make rehabilitative interventions for neurologically impaired patients more impactful, both from an interaction control and assessment point of view as well as from an accessibility and acceptability perspective.
