About
Dr. Kristina M. Kokorelias is a leading voice in gerontology and health services research, dedicated to improving the quality of life for older adults, particularly those living with cognitive impairment. Her work sits at the critical intersection of aging, technology, and social inclusion. A key contribution is her rapid scoping review on technology-enabled recreation and leisure programs for older adults with cognitive impairment (2024, 8 citations), which systematically mapped the emerging evidence on how digital tools can overcome mobility and access barriers to foster well-being. This work highlights her broader focus on developing and evaluating innovative interventions that promote social participation and mitigate isolation. Dr. Kokorelias’s research is distinguished by its practical, person-centered approach, often employing qualitative and mixed methods to capture the lived experiences of older adults and their caregivers. Her scholarship is not only highly cited but also directly informs the design of more inclusive community and healthcare programs, making her a pivotal figure in shaping how we support cognitive health and social connection in an aging population.
