About
Julia Geier’s research sits at the intersection of gerontechnology, nursing science, and human-robot interaction, with a sharp focus on how assistive technologies can support aging in place. Her most-cited work, “Wie Pflegekräfte im ambulanten Bereich den Einsatz von Telepräsenzsystemen einschätzen” (2019, 12 citations), provides a foundational, practice-based assessment of how home-care nurses perceive telepresence systems (TPS) as tools to extend elderly patients’ autonomy and reduce caregiver burden. Rather than simply reviewing technical capabilities, Geier foregrounds the real-world attitudes of nursing professionals—an often-overlooked stakeholder group—revealing critical acceptance barriers and workflow integration challenges. This contribution is notable for bridging the gap between technological promise and clinical reality, offering evidence that shapes both system design and implementation strategies. While her citation count reflects a growing but specialized field, her work is frequently referenced in studies on robotic assistance in home healthcare, underscoring its influence on subsequent empirical and design-oriented research. Geier’s scholarship is essential reading for anyone exploring the human factors of telepresence in care settings, and it positions her as a thoughtful voice advocating for user-centered innovation in geriatric nursing technology.
