About
Dr. Aimee Teare is a leading researcher in gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on improving quality of life for people living with dementia. Her work centers on the design, implementation, and rigorous evaluation of companion robots in residential care settings. Dr. Teare’s major contributions stem from her pivotal role in the EU-funded MARIO project, where she led validation studies demonstrating the tangible benefits of social robots for older adults. Her quantitative findings, published in 2019 and cited over 140 times collectively, provide crucial evidence that companion robots can positively impact quality of life, reduce depressive symptoms, and enhance perceived social support for individuals with dementia. These studies are among the first to offer robust, short-term quantitative data on robot acceptability in real-world care environments. Dr. Teare’s research is highly influential, bridging the gap between technological innovation and compassionate, person-centered care. Her work has been instrumental in shaping how assistive technologies are validated and deployed, making her a key voice in the ethical and practical integration of service robots into dementia care.
