About
Dr. Fiona Manning is a leading researcher in AgeTech, focusing on the design, development, and ethical deployment of digital solutions that support older adults in aging independently. Her work bridges human-computer interaction, gerontechnology, and inclusive design, with a particular emphasis on establishing robust standards and guidelines for this rapidly evolving field. Her most-cited paper, a 2024 scoping review and thematic analysis, critically examines the landscape of standards in AgeTech—covering digital health, assistive technology, IoT, robotics, and wearables—highlighting the urgent need for cohesive frameworks to ensure safety, usability, and equity. This foundational work has already garnered significant attention, underscoring its impact on shaping responsible innovation. Dr. Manning’s contributions are pivotal in moving AgeTech from fragmented development toward a structured, evidence-based approach that prioritizes the real-world needs of older users. Her research not only informs best practices for designers and policymakers but also empowers older adults by advocating for technologies that are accessible, ethical, and truly supportive of aging in place. Through her scholarship, Dr. Manning is helping to define the future of inclusive digital health.
