About

Nabiha Imtiaz is a leading voice in the intersection of geriatric mental health and assistive technology. Her research focuses on non-pharmacological interventions for the elderly, with key contributions in reminiscence therapy for depression and the deployment of humanoid and assistive robots in dementia care. Her most cited work, "Reminiscence Therapy in the Treatment of Depression in the Elderly: Current Perspectives" (2022, 26 citations), critically evaluates decades of clinical practice, highlighting both the therapeutic promise and the nuanced challenges of this approach. Imtiaz’s work on assistive robotics, including "Assistive Robots Designed for Elderly Care and Caregivers" (2021, 16 citations) and "Use of Humanoid Robot in Dementia Care: A Literature Review" (2021, 9 citations), addresses the pressing global demographic shift toward an aging population. By synthesizing evidence on how robots can support cognitive function and alleviate caregiver burden, she bridges engineering and clinical psychology. Her research is particularly notable for its emphasis on maintaining patient dignity and quality of life, offering practical pathways for integrating technology into compassionate, person-centered elder care.
