About

Adriana Seelye is a leading researcher in gerontechnology and neuropsychology, with a focus on developing innovative tools to support aging in place and detect early cognitive decline. Her work bridges human-computer interaction and clinical neuroscience, exploring how remote monitoring technologies—such as telepresence robots and digital health platforms—can enhance the independence, safety, and social connectedness of older adults. In her highly cited 2012 pilot study on a remote-controlled video-communication robot in seniors’ homes, Seelye demonstrated the feasibility and acceptance of such systems, laying critical groundwork for the use of robotics in home-based health monitoring. Her research has garnered over 70 citations for this foundational work alone, reflecting its influence on the fields of assistive technology and aging. Seelye’s contributions are particularly notable for their real-world applicability, combining rigorous methodology with a deep understanding of older adults’ needs. She continues to advance digital phenotyping and passive sensor-based assessments, aiming to detect subtle changes in daily functioning that may signal early dementia. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of aging, technology, and cognitive health.
