About
Dr. Anna Jos is a leading researcher in gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on the ethical and practical integration of socially assistive robots (SARs) in dementia care. Her work bridges human-centered design and clinical gerontology, exploring how technology can support the psychosocial and physical needs of older adults and their caregivers. Her most-cited study, a qualitative investigation involving 11 focus groups with informal caregivers, nurses, and dementia trainers, revealed nuanced expectations for humanoid SARs in care settings—highlighting both the potential for companionship and the critical importance of preserving human dignity and autonomy. This work, published in 2021 and garnering 23 citations, has shaped subsequent discussions on person-centered technology design. Dr. Jos’s contributions are particularly notable for their emphasis on stakeholder voices, ensuring that technological innovation aligns with real-world care values. Her research continues to influence the development of ethical frameworks for assistive robotics, making her a key voice in the responsible deployment of AI in aging and dementia care.
