About
Dr. Charlie Lake is a participatory health researcher whose work centers on dementia care, long-term care innovation, and the meaningful engagement of patients and families in the research process. Her most cited study, published in 2023, explored the use of telepresence robots as a novel tool to sustain patient and family partner involvement in dementia research during the COVID-19 pandemic. This qualitative participatory study, which has garnered 13 citations, demonstrated how technology can bridge critical gaps in care and collaboration when in-person contact is not possible. Dr. Lake’s work is distinguished by its commitment to co-design and real-world impact, ensuring that the voices of those most affected by dementia—residents, families, and frontline staff—are centered in research planning. By addressing the unmet needs of long-term care settings during a global crisis, she has contributed practical, scalable strategies for supporting vulnerable populations. Her research not only advances the field of participatory methods but also offers a compassionate, evidence-based blueprint for resilient, inclusive care systems.
