About
A. Bustinduy Baskaran is a leading voice in human-computer interaction and gerontechnology, with a focused research agenda on the adoption of intelligent assistive technologies (IATs) by older adults. Her seminal work, "The Importance of Trust in the Adoption and Use of Intelligent Assistive Technology by Older Adults to Support Aging in Place," has garnered 62 citations, establishing a foundational framework for understanding how trust mediates the relationship between aging populations and emerging digital tools. Bustinduy Baskaran’s major contribution lies in identifying trust as a critical, non-technical barrier to the successful deployment of service robots and home automation for aging in place. By systematically mapping the psychosocial factors that influence technology acceptance, her research provides actionable insights for designers and policymakers aiming to create more inclusive, user-centered assistive ecosystems. Her work bridges the gap between engineering and social science, ensuring that technological innovation does not outpace the human need for reliability and security. Bustinduy Baskaran’s scholarship continues to shape how we design for dignity, independence, and well-being in later life.
