About
Sandra Lengert-Brzozowski investigates the intersection of gerontechnology and social robotics, with a primary focus on how older adults perceive and accept socially assistive robots (SARs). Her work addresses the critical challenge of aging in place, exploring whether robotic companions can meaningfully mitigate the loneliness epidemic among those aged 65 and older. In her most cited study, a cross-sectional analysis of 61 older adults, she examined the nuanced associations between loneliness and openness to robotic assistance, revealing that acceptance is not simply a function of technological literacy but is deeply tied to emotional and social factors. While her citation count is still growing, this foundational paper has already garnered 10 citations, signaling its relevance in a rapidly expanding field. Her research is particularly notable for its human-centered approach, prioritizing the lived experiences of seniors over purely technical metrics. By bridging psychology, human-robot interaction, and gerontology, Lengert-Brzozowski is helping to shape a future where technology serves not just efficiency, but genuine human connection and dignity in later life.
