About
Dr. Hsiu-Chun Chien is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and cognitive health, specializing in the development and evaluation of robot-assisted interventions for older adults. Her work focuses on leveraging interactive technologies—particularly robot-assisted board games—to address cognitive decline and promote mental well-being in aging populations. Dr. Chien’s major contributions include pioneering the application of the decomposed theory of planned behavior to assess older adults’ acceptance of continuous engagement with robotic cognitive training tools, a framework that has garnered early recognition with 6 citations. She also led a landmark cluster randomized trial demonstrating the effectiveness of robot-assisted board games in improving cognitive function, self-efficacy, and life satisfaction while reducing depression among older adults with mild cognitive impairment. This study, involving 109 participants across eight community sites, has been cited 4 times and represents a significant step toward scalable, non-pharmacological interventions for cognitive health. Dr. Chien’s work is notable for its rigorous empirical design and its focus on translating technological innovation into practical, person-centered solutions for an aging society.
