About

Dr. Khalisa Bolling is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontology and human-centered technology, dedicated to empowering older adults to live independently. Her work critically examines how emerging technologies—from Internet of Things (IoT) and Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) systems to robotics and artificial intelligence—can support “aging in place.” Her most-cited paper, “Technology to Support Aging in Place: Older Adults’ Perspectives” (2019, 316 citations), is a landmark study that challenges top-down design approaches by centering the voices and lived experiences of older adults themselves. This contribution has reshaped how technologists and policymakers think about inclusive design, ensuring that innovations are not only functional but truly responsive to users’ needs. Dr. Bolling’s research has had a profound impact on the fields of human-computer interaction and gerontechnology, influencing both academic discourse and practical product development. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to build a future where technology serves dignity, autonomy, and quality of life across the lifespan.
