About

Jayna Holroyd-Leduc is a leading geriatric medicine researcher whose work focuses on improving care for older adults, particularly those experiencing frailty, dementia, and social vulnerability. Her research bridges clinical practice and health systems innovation, with major contributions in understanding and addressing social frailty—a condition where older adults lack meaningful social connections, increasing their risk of mortality, functional decline, and disability. Her highly cited 2024 systematic scoping review (23 citations) identified interventions with potential to help socially frail older adults, highlighting critical gaps in how social determinants are addressed in care. Holroyd-Leduc has also pioneered research on technology in continuing care settings, including her 2025 scoping review on implementing robotic pets for older adults with dementia, which examined both benefits and unintended negative consequences. Her work is notable for its practical, implementation-focused approach, identifying barriers and facilitators to real-world adoption of innovations. With a career dedicated to evidence-based geriatric care, Holroyd-Leduc’s research has shaped how clinicians and policymakers approach frailty, social isolation, and technology integration in aging populations, making her a key voice in advancing quality of life for older adults.
