About
Hasheem Mannan is a leading scholar in disability policy, assistive technology, and systems thinking in long-term care. His research critically examines how care robots and enabling technologies can enhance quality of life for older adults and persons with disabilities, while grounding these innovations in the framework of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In his 2023 paper on care robots, Mannan explores the profound implications for disability policy and quality of life, arguing that robotics must be understood not merely as tools but as interventions that can either empower or marginalize users. His 2022 work applies a systems approach to quality improvement in a Japanese nursing home, addressing the pressing challenges of an aging population and care worker shortages. Though early in citation impact, these contributions are shaping conversations at the intersection of technology ethics, gerontology, and disability rights. Mannan’s work stands out for its interdisciplinary rigor and its commitment to ensuring that technological progress serves human dignity and inclusion.
