About
Balasankar Ganesan is a leading researcher in gerontechnology and assistive health systems, with a primary focus on ambient assisted living (AAL) technologies for aging populations. His most cited work, a comprehensive 2019 review on AAL for older adults with cognitive and physical impairments, has garnered 68 citations, reflecting its foundational role in the field. Ganesan’s research addresses the critical challenge of supporting the rapidly growing global aging population—projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050—particularly in developing countries where 80% of seniors will reside. He systematically analyzes how smart home sensors, wearable devices, and AI-driven monitoring can mitigate physical, cognitive, and social decline, enabling independent living. His contributions extend to identifying barriers in technology adoption and proposing user-centered design frameworks. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, Ganesan has shaped policy discussions and inspired subsequent innovations in remote healthcare and fall detection systems. His work stands as a vital resource for engineers, clinicians, and policymakers striving to create dignified, sustainable care solutions for an aging world.
