About

Joanna Ejdys is a leading voice in the intersection of gerontechnology, human-robot interaction, and technology adoption among aging populations. Her research critically examines the behavioral and psychological factors that determine whether older adults embrace or reject assistive technologies, with a particular focus on humanoid robots used in senior care. In her highly cited 2022 work, Ejdys identified the key success factors influencing older adults’ intentions to use assistive technologies—a study that has garnered 8 citations and provides essential guidance for designing age-friendly digital solutions. Her earlier 2018 paper on trust in humanoid care robots, with 4 citations, broke new ground by exploring how Poland’s rapidly aging society might respond to robotic caregivers. Ejdys’s work is notable for bridging technical innovation with real-world social challenges, offering evidence-based frameworks that inform policymakers, healthcare providers, and technology developers. Her contributions are particularly timely as societies worldwide grapple with unprecedented demographic shifts, making her research indispensable for anyone seeking to understand how technology can support dignified, independent aging.
