About
Anne-Marie Skovsgaard Frederiksen is a leading researcher in the sociology of aging and technology, with a particular focus on how older adults and care workers perceive and integrate assistive technologies into everyday life. Her work bridges gerontology, nursing, and human-computer interaction, offering deep qualitative insights into the lived experiences of elder care. Frederiksen’s most cited study, a hermeneutic interview investigation of attitudes toward a robot bathtub in Danish elder care, has garnered 56 citations and stands as a seminal contribution to understanding the diverse—and often conflicting—perspectives of users, caregivers, and administrators. By moving beyond simple acceptance or rejection models, she reveals how cultural values, professional identities, and institutional logics shape technology adoption. Her research is widely recognized for its methodological rigor and its critical, human-centered approach, challenging techno-solutionist narratives in aging policy. Frederiksen’s work has informed debates on dignity, autonomy, and the future of care work, making her a vital voice in the global conversation on aging and digitalization. Her scholarship continues to inspire students and researchers to examine technology not as a neutral tool, but as a deeply social and relational phenomenon.
