About

Ruopeng An is a leading researcher at the intersection of public health, gerontology, and artificial intelligence, with a primary focus on leveraging AI technologies to enhance the well-being of older adults. His work addresses critical challenges of aging, particularly loneliness and physical inactivity, by systematically evaluating the effectiveness of AI-powered interventions. An’s major contributions include groundbreaking systematic reviews that synthesize evidence on AI applications—from social robots to intelligent systems—designed to reduce social isolation and promote physical activity among seniors. His most-cited paper, “AI Applications to Reduce Loneliness Among Older Adults” (2025, 44 citations), provides a comprehensive assessment of technological solutions for a pressing public health issue. Another influential work, “Artificial intelligence-powered social robots for promoting physical activity in older adults” (2025, 12 citations), demonstrates how robotic companions can significantly increase exercise adherence, engagement, and duration in diverse settings like nursing homes and community centers. An’s research is notable for its practical impact, showing high user satisfaction and real-world applicability. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in how AI can transform geriatric care, offering evidence-based pathways to improve quality of life for the rapidly aging global population.
