About

Samila Sathler Tavares Batistoni is a leading researcher in gerontology and psychosocial interventions for older adults, with a focus on the intersection of mental health, technology, and aging. Her most-cited work, a 2021 scoping review on the effects of social robots on depressive symptoms in older adults (24 citations), critically examines how robotic companions can address age-related depression within smart city frameworks, analyzing intervention protocols and contextual specificities. This research underscores her broader contributions to understanding non-pharmacological strategies for late-life mental health, particularly in community and care settings. Batistoni’s work has been instrumental in shaping evidence-based approaches to aging, emphasizing the role of social support, technology, and environmental design in enhancing quality of life. Her studies are widely referenced by scholars in gerontology, human-robot interaction, and public health, reflecting their impact on both academic discourse and practical interventions. Through her rigorous reviews and empirical studies, Batistoni continues to advance knowledge on how aging populations can thrive in increasingly digital and urbanized societies, making her a key voice in the field of healthy aging and gerontechnology.
