About
Dr. Lori Boright is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of geriatric rehabilitation and assistive robotics. Her primary research focuses on fall prevention, physical activity promotion, and innovative technology-based interventions for older adults. Dr. Boright’s most notable contribution is her groundbreaking pilot study on the robotic delivery of the Otago Exercise Program (OEP), a proven fall prevention regimen. Her 2023 paper, "Effect of Robotic Delivery of Physical Activity and Fall Prevention Exercise in Older Adults," demonstrated that socially assistive robots can effectively guide older adults through balance and strength exercises, offering a scalable solution to address the high prevalence of falls and physical deconditioning in the 65+ population. While her work is early-stage, it has already garnered attention, with 5 citations in a rapidly growing field. Dr. Boright’s research bridges a critical gap between evidence-based geriatric care and emerging technology, promising to enhance longevity and quality of life through accessible, engaging, and safe exercise delivery. Her work is essential reading for researchers exploring human-robot interaction in healthcare.
