About
Dr. Gemma Ortega is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of geriatric care and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on developing robotic assistance for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Her work centers on the design and implementation of socially assistive robots to support patients with mild cognitive impairment and early-stage dementia in their homes, aiming to alleviate the burden on caregivers and improve quality of life. Dr. Ortega’s key contributions include the RAMCIP project (Robotic Assistant for MCI Patients), where she explored novel approaches for robots to assist with activities of daily living (ADLs) and supervision. Notably, her 2016 paper, “RAMCIP Project, A Robotic Assistant to Support Alzheimer's Disease Patients at Home,” has garnered 3 citations, while her 2017 study on differences in opinion between AD patients and caregivers regarding home service robots has received 2 citations. These works highlight her commitment to patient-centered design and ethical considerations in robotics. Dr. Ortega’s research is instrumental in shaping the future of assistive technologies, offering a compassionate, tech-driven solution to the growing challenges of Alzheimer’s care.
