About
Christine R. Kovach is a distinguished gerontological researcher whose work lies at the intersection of aging, technology, and caregiving. Her primary research areas include the ethical and practical integration of social robots, robotic assistants, and home health monitoring devices into the lives of older adults. Kovach’s major contribution is her critical gerontological perspective on emerging technologies, emphasizing how these tools can support independence, safety, and quality of life for aging populations while addressing the challenges of adoption and human-robot interaction. Her most-cited paper, “Social Robots, Robotic Assistants, and Home Health Monitoring Devices: A Gerontological Research Perspective” (2019), has garnered 5 citations and serves as a foundational framework for researchers exploring the balance between technological innovation and the nuanced needs of older adults. Through her work, Kovach has shaped discourse on how assistive technologies can complement, rather than replace, human care, highlighting the importance of user-centered design and ethical considerations. Her research continues to influence gerontology, human-computer interaction, and healthcare policy, making her a vital voice in the evolving landscape of aging and technology.
