About

Dr. Alexander Gkiokas is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology, robotics, and sensor-based health monitoring. His work focuses on developing and evaluating assistive technologies that support independent mobility and enhance the quality of life for older adults and their caregivers. His most influential paper, "Robotic and Sensor Technologies for Mobility in Older People" (2017), with 25 citations, provides a critical review of how robotic and sensor systems can address age-related mobility decline. This foundational work highlights the potential of these technologies to extend functional independence and reduce caregiver burden. Dr. Gkiokas’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging engineering innovation with real-world geriatric needs, emphasizing user-centered design and practical deployment. His research has informed the development of smart home environments and wearable robotic aids, positioning him as a key voice in the growing field of technology-enabled aging. Through his work, Dr. Gkiokas continues to shape how we understand and implement technological solutions for an aging global population.
