About
Sandra Suijkerbuijk’s research lies at the intersection of social robotics, gerontechnology, and person-centered care, with a focus on supporting older adults, particularly those living with dementia. Her work explores how socially assistive robots and sensor networks can be integrated into daily life to promote independence and wellbeing. In her most-cited paper, “Social Robot and Sensor Network in Support of Activity of Daily Living for People with Dementia” (2019, 32 citations), she demonstrates how ambient intelligence and robotic companionship can work together to monitor and assist with daily activities, offering a non-intrusive, supportive environment. Her 2018 paper in the International Journal of Integrated Care, “A social robot to support integrated person centered care,” further advances this vision by proposing how robots can bridge gaps between clinical care and everyday living, aligning technology with the values of dignity and autonomy. While her citation counts reflect an emerging career, Suijkerbuijk’s work is notable for its human-centered design philosophy and its contribution to the growing field of socially assistive robotics in healthcare. Her research offers a compelling model for how technology can be both intelligent and compassionate.
