About

Dirk Steijger is a researcher at the forefront of applying artificial intelligence to improve the quality of life for people with dementia. His work centers on the intersection of AI, personalised care, and gerontechnology, exploring how intelligent systems can delay institutionalisation and enhance daily living for vulnerable populations. His most-cited paper, a 2025 scoping review on using AI to support dementia patients’ quality of life, has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting growing interest in this critical area. Steijger’s contributions include synthesising evidence on how AI-driven tools—such as monitoring systems and adaptive interfaces—can offer tailored services that preserve independence and dignity. By mapping current applications and gaps in the field, he provides a roadmap for future research and clinical implementation. His work is notable for its human-centred approach, emphasising that technology must serve the emotional and social needs of individuals, not just clinical metrics. For students and researchers, Steijger’s research represents a vital bridge between cutting-edge AI and compassionate, person-centred dementia care, offering both practical insights and ethical guidance for a rapidly evolving field.
