About

Dr. Andrea Iaboni is a leading clinician-scientist whose research focuses on improving the quality of life for older adults living with dementia and cognitive impairment, with a particular emphasis on neuropsychiatric symptoms, mobility, and technology-enabled care. Her work bridges geriatric psychiatry and rehabilitation science, addressing critical challenges such as falls, agitation, and social isolation. A major contribution is her pioneering research into technology-enabled recreation and leisure programs, exemplified by her highly cited 2024 rapid scoping review (8 citations), which systematically mapped how digital tools can deliver meaningful activities to individuals with cognitive decline, overcoming barriers of mobility and access. This work has significant implications for designing non-pharmacological interventions that enhance well-being in long-term care and community settings. Dr. Iaboni’s impact is further demonstrated through her leadership in developing innovative assessment tools for falls risk and agitation in dementia, and her role as a Scientist at the Kite Research Institute, University Health Network. Her research is widely recognized for its translational value, directly informing clinical practice and policy to support aging in place with dignity.
