About

Jocelyne de Rotrou is a pioneering researcher in geriatric neuropsychology, whose work has significantly advanced our understanding of cognitive aging and early intervention strategies. Her research primarily focuses on mild cognitive impairment (MCI), assistive technologies for older adults, and non-pharmacological approaches to maintaining cognitive health. One of her most impactful contributions is her study on the attitudes of older adults with MCI toward assistive robots (2014, 145 citations), which provided crucial insights into how technology can support daily living and cognitive function in aging populations. This work has helped shape the development of user-centered robotic aids designed to enhance independence and quality of life. Throughout her career, de Rotrou has been instrumental in bridging the gap between clinical neuropsychology and technological innovation, demonstrating how personalized cognitive stimulation programs and assistive devices can delay cognitive decline. Her research has garnered international recognition, influencing both clinical practice and the design of future assistive technologies. For students and researchers, de Rotrou’s work offers a compelling model of how interdisciplinary approaches can address the complex challenges of aging, emphasizing the importance of listening to older adults’ needs when developing interventions that truly make a difference.
