About

Dr. Avilash Mohapatra is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and geriatric care. His research focuses on leveraging intelligent systems to enable independence and improve quality of life for the elderly, challenging the field to adopt more dignified, positive language around aging. His most-cited work, "Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics in Elderly Healthcare: Enabling Independence and Quality of Life" (2023, 71 citations), critically examines the ethical imperative to replace alarmist terms like “aging tsunami” with constructive discourse—especially as the geriatric workforce struggles to keep pace with demographic shifts. Dr. Mohapatra’s contributions extend beyond technical innovation; he advocates for a human-centered approach that prioritizes autonomy and respect. His scholarship has shaped conversations on how AI and robotics can bridge care gaps without dehumanizing older adults. By combining rigorous analysis with a call for cultural change, Dr. Mohapatra’s work has become essential reading for researchers and practitioners seeking to build a more compassionate, technologically empowered future for aging populations.
