About

Dr. Stephanie Christine Schleimer is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and culturally inclusive aged care. Her work focuses on how affordable robotic technologies can enhance the well-being of older adults, particularly those from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds who choose to age in place. Her most-cited study (2022, 21 citations) investigates the benefits for aged care providers of integrating robotic solutions into service packages, demonstrating that technology can be a powerful tool for promoting independence and quality of life among diverse aging populations. By centering the needs of CALD older adults—a group often overlooked in tech design—Schleimer’s research challenges one-size-fits-all approaches to care. Her work bridges human-centered design, social robotics, and health equity, offering actionable insights for providers seeking to deliver culturally sensitive, tech-enabled support. With a growing citation footprint and a focus on real-world impact, Schleimer is shaping a future where aging at home is not only possible but dignified and connected, regardless of cultural background.
