About
Jutta Tandler is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction and gerontechnology, dedicated to improving the lives of people living with advanced dementia and their caregivers. Her work centers on the design, deployment, and long-term evaluation of social robots within protected care environments. In her highly cited 2023 study, Tandler provided early, critical insights into the potential of robotic exergames to foster social engagement and emotional connection for this often-overlooked population. Building on this foundation, her 2025 research represents a landmark contribution, presenting findings from a rare 10-month longitudinal ethnographic study. This work rigorously examines the sustained social and emotional impacts of social robotics, moving beyond initial novelty to reveal how these technologies can meaningfully support daily activities and alleviate caregiver burden over time. With a growing citation footprint, Tandler’s research is notable for its deep, qualitative methodology and its focus on designing for those who are frequently marginalized by technology. Her findings are shaping best practices for compassionate, person-centered robotic design in dementia care, establishing her as a leading voice advocating for inclusive and impactful assistive technologies.
