About
Michele Correa’s research lies at the intersection of gerontology, human-robot interaction, and healthcare technology, with a focus on improving quality of life for older adults. Her most-cited work, a 2023 scoping review titled “What contribution do robots make to the care of older people?,” systematically examines empirical studies on robotic assistance for activities of daily living (ADLs). The review synthesizes user-reported benefits—such as enhanced independence and social engagement—alongside barriers like cost, usability, and ethical concerns. By centering user perspectives, Correa provides critical insights for designing robots that are both practical and acceptable in aging populations. This work has already garnered 4 citations, reflecting its timely relevance as societies grapple with aging demographics and caregiving shortages. Correa’s contribution is notable for bridging the gap between technological innovation and real-world care needs, offering a roadmap for future research and policy. Her scholarship underscores a commitment to evidence-based, human-centered design, making her a key voice in the evolving discourse on robotics in elder care.
