About
Kali Grimm is a researcher whose work centers on the intersection of gerontechnology, human-robot interaction, and the design of supportive environments for aging populations. Her primary contributions lie in understanding how emerging technologies can be meaningfully integrated into the daily lives of older adults, particularly those in independent and assisted living facilities. Her most cited work, "Perspectives on a telepresence robot at an independent living facility: lessons learned and implications" (2023, 9 citations), provides a foundational, qualitative exploration of the practical and social challenges of deploying mobile videoconferencing robots in community settings. This study is notable for its focus on user-centered design, moving beyond technical feasibility to capture the lived experiences of residents, staff, and visitors. By identifying key lessons around privacy, autonomy, and social presence, Grimm’s work offers critical implications for the future of telehealth and remote companionship. Her research is essential for students and designers seeking to create ethical, effective, and truly human-centered technologies that support independence and connection in later life.
