About
Josephine McMurray is a leading researcher at the intersection of aging, technology, and human-centered design, whose work is shaping how we support older adults to age in place. Her primary research areas include the adoption of intelligent assistive technologies, the role of trust in technology acceptance, and the development of inclusive AgeTech solutions. McMurray’s most cited work, “The Importance of Trust in the Adoption and Use of Intelligent Assistive Technology by Older Adults to Support Aging in Place” (2017, 62 citations), established a critical framework for understanding how trust—or its absence—can make or break the success of technologies like service robots and home automation for seniors. She has also advanced the field through her rapid scoping review on technology-enabled recreation for older adults with cognitive impairment (2024, 8 citations), highlighting how digital tools can enhance well-being despite mobility and cognitive challenges. Her thematic analysis of standards and guidelines in AgeTech design (2024, 4 citations) underscores her commitment to ensuring that these technologies are not only innovative but also safe, ethical, and accessible. McMurray’s work is essential reading for anyone interested in designing technology that truly serves an aging population.
