About

Arni Ariani’s research focuses on the intersection of human-computer interaction, gerontechnology, and assistive robotics, with a particular emphasis on designing technology that supports independent living for the elderly. Her work addresses critical challenges in technology adoption among older adults, bridging the gap between innovation and real-world usability. In her highly cited 2017 study, "Tablet-Based Well-Being Check for the Elderly," Ariani developed and evaluated a tablet-based system that allows seniors to self-report their well-being, demonstrating strong usability and acceptability—a key contribution to remote health monitoring for aging populations. This work has garnered 21 citations, reflecting its influence in the field of ambient assisted living. Her systematic review, "Challenges in Seniors Adopting Assistive Robots" (2016, 8 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding the barriers—such as trust, complexity, and perceived need—that prevent older adults from embracing robotic assistance. Through these contributions, Ariani has advanced the design of more intuitive, user-centered technologies that empower seniors to age in place safely and independently.
