About

Dr. Carole Leung is a leading researcher at the intersection of cognitive aging and digital health, whose work is shaping how we support brain health in later life. Her primary research areas focus on the application of technology to improve cognition in older adults, with a particular emphasis on developing and evaluating technology-based cognitive interventions and serious games. Her most cited paper, "The application of technology to improve cognition in older adults: A review and suggestions for future directions" (2022, 30 citations), provides a critical synthesis of the field, identifying key gaps and charting a roadmap for more effective, personalized interventions. This work has been instrumental in moving the conversation beyond simple "brain training" toward ecologically valid, engaging tools that can be integrated into daily life. Dr. Leung’s contributions are especially timely given the global rise in cognitive impairment and dementia, positioning her as a vital voice in the effort to translate technological advances into tangible, real-world benefits for aging populations. Her research continues to influence both academic discourse and practical application in gerontechnology.
