About
Li-Ting Lu is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology, human-robot interaction, and chronic disease self-management. Her work focuses on leveraging socially assistive robots to improve cognitive and psychosocial outcomes for vulnerable populations. In a landmark 2025 cluster randomized trial (4 citations), she demonstrated that robot-assisted board games significantly enhance cognitive function, self-efficacy, and life satisfaction while reducing depression in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Lu also pioneered the use of interactive robot-assisted virtual health coaching for chronic kidney disease patients, showing in a 2024 quasiexperimental study (3 citations) that such interventions can substantially improve health literacy and disease-specific knowledge. Her research is notable for its rigorous quasiexperimental designs and practical focus on scalable, non-pharmacological interventions. By integrating robotics with evidence-based behavioral strategies, Lu is shaping how technology can support aging populations and manage chronic conditions, making her work highly relevant for students and researchers in health technology, nursing, and human-robot interaction.
