About
Katarzyna Wieczorowska-Tobis is a distinguished researcher whose work sits at the intersection of gerontology, assistive technology, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on deploying robotic solutions to support the care and independence of older adults. She has made foundational contributions to understanding how social and service robots can be integrated into elderly care settings, both in domestic environments and long-term care institutions. Her highly cited 2023 review and multi-criteria optimization model (86 citations) established a rigorous framework for matching robotic systems to the specific needs of elderly users, while her earlier work on the EU-funded ENRICHME project pioneered non-pharmacological, technology-driven approaches for individuals living with mild cognitive impairment. Her 2018 studies on long-term robot acceptance (45 citations) and nutritional assistance robots (26 citations) demonstrated her commitment to user-centered research that captures the genuine perspectives of older adults and professional caregivers alike. By consistently examining stakeholder perceptions — including occupational therapy students, care staff, and residents — Wieczorowska-Tobis has helped bridge the gap between technological innovation and real-world implementation, making her an authoritative and empathetic voice in the rapidly evolving field of assistive robotics for aging populations.
