About
Dr. Rose Miranda is a leading voice in the ethics of dementia care, with a focused expertise on the moral implications of deploying technology in long-term care settings. Her most-cited work, "The ethics of pet robots in dementia care settings: Care professionals’ and organisational leaders’ ethical intuitions" (2023, 27 citations), has become a cornerstone for understanding the nuanced tensions between therapeutic benefit and ethical risk. In this pivotal study, Dr. Miranda moves beyond the established clinical evidence—which shows pet robots can reduce agitation and improve mood—to systematically map the real-world ethical intuitions of care professionals and organizational leaders. She reveals a critical landscape of concerns, including the potential for deception, infantilization, and the replacement of human contact, while also acknowledging the robots’ capacity to enhance wellbeing. By bridging the gap between technological promise and ethical practice, her work provides essential guidance for responsible implementation. Dr. Miranda’s research is indispensable for anyone navigating the complex intersection of gerontology, assistive robotics, and moral philosophy, establishing her as a key architect of ethically sound, person-centered dementia care.
