About
Carine Mendom Feunou is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and communication disorders, with a primary focus on enhancing social health for people living with dementia and their caregivers. Her most influential work, a systematic literature review published in 2021, has garnered 61 citations and serves as a foundational reference in the field. In this landmark study, Feunou rigorously evaluated technology-driven solutions designed to prompt conversation, aid communication, and support social interaction—addressing the profound challenges that arise when dementia impairs an individual’s ability to initiate and maintain dialogue. By synthesizing evidence on digital tools ranging from simple prompting devices to complex interactive systems, she has provided a critical roadmap for researchers and clinicians seeking to preserve meaningful social connections. Her contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between technological innovation and person-centered care, emphasizing that effective communication support must be intuitive, adaptable, and co-designed with end-users. Feunou’s work has significant implications for improving quality of life, reducing caregiver burden, and shaping future assistive technologies, making her a vital voice in the ongoing effort to combat the social isolation often accompanying dementia.
