Chuhong Luo

About

Dr. Chuhong Luo is a leading researcher in gerontechnology, specializing in the acceptance and design of socially assistive robots (SARs) for older adults. Her work bridges human-computer interaction and behavioral science, using qualitative and quantitative methods to understand what drives or hinders technology adoption in aging populations. Dr. Luo’s meta-analysis on SAR acceptance (2023, 20 citations) systematically quantified key influencing factors, while her COM-B model study (2024, 21 citations) provided a stakeholder-informed framework of barriers and facilitators. Most recently, she has applied Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (2025) to map older adults’ psychosocial requirements for robot design. Her cumulative work—garnering over 40 citations in just two years—has directly informed user-centered design guidelines and policy recommendations for age-friendly robotics. By centering the voices of older adults and their caregivers, Dr. Luo’s research ensures that technological innovation aligns with real-world needs, making her a pivotal figure in the ethical deployment of assistive robots for healthy aging.
