About

Dr. Olayemi Timothy Adekeye is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on leveraging social robotics to support dementia care. His most cited work, "Use of a Humanoid Robot in Supporting Dementia Care: A Qualitative Analysis" (2023), has garnered 14 citations and represents a foundational contribution to understanding how humanoid robots like Pepper can be integrated into daily caregiving routines. Through rigorous qualitative analysis, Dr. Adekeye has illuminated the nuanced perceptions of using robotic assistants for persons with cognitive impairment, addressing critical gaps in assistive technology research. His work demonstrates how consistent supervision needs in dementia care can be partially met through empathetic, non-human agents, thereby enhancing patient independence and caregiver support. By exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and geriatric care, Dr. Adekeye has established himself as a key voice in the ethical and practical deployment of socially assistive robots. His research not only advances academic discourse but also offers actionable insights for healthcare practitioners and technology developers aiming to improve quality of life for aging populations.
