Haitas’s most significant contribution is her comprehensive evidence and gap map on digital interventions for older adults, a landmark study that synthesizes the existing research landscape. This work, which has garnered nearly 80 citations, was especially timely during the COVID-19 pandemic, when restrictions heightened the urgency for effective remote solutions. By systematically identifying both proven strategies and critical research gaps, she has provided a vital roadmap for future studies and practical implementations. Her scholarship not only highlights the potential of digital tools to foster connection but also underscores the need for rigorous evaluation. Haitas’s research is essential reading for anyone interested in leveraging technology to enhance the quality of life for aging populations.
