About
Dr. Pei-Shan Li is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and dementia care, with a primary focus on evaluating the therapeutic potential of socially assistive robots (SARs) for older adults. Her major contribution lies in providing rigorous, evidence-based insights into how robotic interventions can alleviate neuropsychiatric and behavioral symptoms of dementia while enhancing emotional well-being and social engagement. Her landmark 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis, which has already garnered 41 citations, critically synthesized randomized controlled trials to assess both immediate and long-term effects of SARs in long-term care facilities. This work is pivotal in moving the field beyond anecdotal success toward clinically meaningful outcomes, offering clear guidance for healthcare practitioners and technology developers. Dr. Li’s research is distinguished by its methodological rigor and its compassionate focus on improving quality of life for one of the most vulnerable populations. Her findings are increasingly influential in shaping dementia care protocols and informing policy on technology adoption in geriatric settings, marking her as a key voice in the evolving dialogue between robotics and human-centered elder care.
