About

Dr. Marie Hamilton Larsen is a leading researcher in gerontechnology and community-based care for older adults, with a primary focus on evaluating the effectiveness of welfare technology interventions that enable aging in place. Her most cited work, a 2023 systematic review of randomized controlled trials, critically examines how technical solutions—such as remote monitoring, assistive devices, and digital health platforms—support older people living at home in maintaining independence, mental health, and physical well-being. By synthesizing evidence from multiple RCTs, Dr. Larsen has provided a rigorous framework for assessing which technologies truly improve outcomes for aging populations, addressing a critical gap between rapid technological innovation and real-world clinical application. Her research directly informs healthcare policy and service design, helping practitioners and policymakers select evidence-based tools that promote autonomy and quality of life. With 13 citations to her flagship review, her work is gaining traction among scholars and clinicians seeking to optimize home-based care. Dr. Larsen’s contributions are particularly timely as global populations age, positioning her as a key voice in the intersection of technology, nursing science, and gerontology.
