About
Priscila Lopes is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, assistive technology, and gerontechnology, dedicated to improving the quality of life for older adults and individuals with cognitive impairments. Her most notable contribution is the TROUVE project, which pioneered a co-conception process to develop an innovative assistive device that helps older adults with cognitive impairment track and find misplaced everyday objects. This work, published in 2016 and garnering 25 citations, exemplifies her commitment to user-centered design and participatory research, ensuring that technological solutions are both practical and empathetic. Lopes’s research emphasizes the importance of involving end-users—older adults and their caregivers—in the design process, bridging the gap between technical innovation and real-world needs. Her work has significant implications for aging populations, offering tools that enhance independence and reduce daily frustrations. Through her focus on co-design and assistive technology, Lopes has made a meaningful impact on the field of human-computer interaction, inspiring further studies on inclusive design for cognitive support.
