About

Dr. Angela Ellard is a leading researcher in geriatric telehealth and aging-in-place technologies, with a focus on optimizing healthy independent living for older adults. Her work addresses critical challenges posed by the aging population and primary care shortages through innovative, nurse-led interventions. Her most cited study, "Satisfaction and Technology Evaluation of a Telehealth Robotic Program to Optimize Healthy Independent Living for Older Adults" (2018, 25 citations), evaluates a telepresence robotic program designed to support seniors in their homes. This research demonstrates her commitment to bridging technology and clinical care, showing how remote robotic systems can enhance patient satisfaction, promote independence, and reduce healthcare burdens. Dr. Ellard’s contributions are particularly notable for integrating user-centered technology assessment with practical nursing frameworks, providing a model for scalable telehealth solutions. Her work has influenced how healthcare providers approach chronic disease management and preventive care for aging populations, with impact extending to policy discussions on digital health equity. By combining rigorous evaluation methods with a compassionate focus on quality of life, Dr. Ellard continues to shape the future of geriatric care and remote health monitoring.
