Academic career


Broadbent initially trained as an electronic engineer at the University of Canterbury, completing a Bachelor of Engineering degree with Honours (Electrical and Electronic). She worked at companies Transpower, Électricité de Tahiti, and Robotechnology before continuing her education with a graduate Diploma of Arts from Massey University, and Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees at the University of Auckland. Her 2002 master's thesis was on the effects of stress, social support and beliefs on wound healing following surgery. Her PhD thesis, completed in 2005, was titled New approaches to the assessment of illness perceptions.
Broadbent was promoted to full professor at the University of Auckland in 2019.
Broadbent has worked on how robots might help in school situations, both in the classroom and the sick bay, and also how might robots help patients managing chronic lung condition COPD. About 75% of patients in a controlled trial found that having robot assistance at home helped with medication adherence and companionship. Her work on how writing can help recovery from injury and weightloss surgery has been featured in Scientific American Mind, Time magazine, and The Guardian.

Broadbent was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society Te Apārangi in 2021. The Society said "One of her most notable contributions is the development and testing of healthcare robots, especially for improving outcomes in rest-home and dementia care and chronic illness...this is innovative interdisciplinary work of exceptional quality".
