About
Lucie Vaamonde is a researcher dedicated to advancing active and healthy aging through human-centered technology design. Her work lies at the intersection of gerontechnology, user experience, and personalized service design, with a focus on ensuring that assistive devices are not only functional but truly adopted by older adults. Her most cited paper, "Design and Evaluation of Personalized Services to Foster Active Aging: The Experience of Technology Pre-Validation in Italian Pilots" (2023), has garnered 23 citations and introduces a novel "pre-validation" methodology. This two-step approach systematically addresses the critical barriers to long-term technology use among older populations, moving beyond simple usability testing to ensure real-world relevance and sustained engagement. By centering the voices and needs of end-users early in the design process, Vaamonde’s work provides a practical framework for developing technologies that genuinely support independent living. Her contributions are particularly significant for researchers and practitioners seeking to bridge the gap between technological innovation and meaningful, lasting impact in the field of aging.
