About

Dr. Caroline Gladstone is a leading voice at the intersection of gerontology, public health, and human-computer interaction. Her research fundamentally reshapes how we understand and support family caregivers, particularly through the lens of emerging technologies. Her landmark 2020 paper, "Technology and Caregiving: Emerging Interventions and Directions for Research" (189 citations), provides a critical taxonomy of digital interventions—from mobile health apps to cloud-based support networks and robotics—that address caregivers' core challenges in health, social isolation, and psychological well-being. This work is widely recognized for mapping the future of connected care. Beyond this seminal review, Dr. Gladstone’s contributions extend to evaluating the real-world efficacy of these tools, ensuring that technological innovation translates into tangible relief for millions of unpaid caregivers. Her scholarship, cited over 500 times, has informed national policy discussions on aging-in-place and caregiver support. A sought-after speaker and mentor, Dr. Gladstone continues to pioneer research that bridges the gap between rapid technological advancement and the deeply human need for compassionate, sustainable care.
