About
Delphine Roulet Schwab is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of aging, caregiving, and digital technology, with a particular focus on how older persons and their caregivers engage with and accept emerging technological solutions. Her research addresses one of the most pressing challenges of contemporary society: providing adequate, dignified care for an aging population in an era of growing demand and constrained resources. Roulet Schwab has made significant contributions to the field of technology acceptance, critically examining and enriching established models such as TAM and UTAUT by grounding them in the lived experiences of older adults and caregivers through qualitative inquiry. Her most-cited work (44 citations) challenges researchers to look beyond abstract behavioral factors and incorporate nuanced, human-centered perspectives into theoretical frameworks. Alongside this, her investigation into privacy and ethical concerns surrounding smart home health technologies (20 citations) demonstrates a commitment to responsible innovation, ensuring that technological adoption does not come at the cost of dignity or autonomy. Her nationally representative survey on robotic technology acceptance in Switzerland further illustrates her ambition to shape evidence-based policy at scale. Collectively, her scholarship positions her as a thoughtful and increasingly influential voice in gerontechnology research.
