About

Dr. Austin Montgomery is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, with a primary focus on improving care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD). His most cited work, "Assessing the Acceptability of a Humanoid Robot for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia Care Using an Online Survey" (2022, 33 citations), represents a foundational contribution to the field. In this study, Dr. Montgomery employed a large-scale online survey to systematically evaluate the acceptability of humanoid robots among key stakeholders—including people with ADRD, their family caregivers, healthcare professionals, and the general public. By identifying specific user needs and concerns, his research provides critical evidence for designing socially assistive robots that are both practical and welcomed in dementia care settings. This work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between technological innovation and real-world caregiving challenges. Dr. Montgomery’s research is distinguished by its user-centered approach, ensuring that the voices of those most affected by ADRD guide the development of supportive technologies. With a growing citation impact, his contributions are shaping the future of compassionate, technology-enhanced elder care.
