About
Sarah Abdi is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of aging, assistive technology, and emerging digital innovations. Her scholarship focuses on how cutting-edge technologies can be harnessed to address critical gaps in care and support for older adults and people with disabilities — populations that face growing unmet needs as formal and informal care systems come under increasing strain. Her most cited work, "Emerging Technologies With Potential Care and Support Applications for Older People" (2020, 68 citations), offers a comprehensive review of the gray literature to map technological developments with real-world potential for older adult care — a timely contribution given global demographic shifts. Building on this foundation, her 2021 paper, "Emerging Technologies and Their Potential for Generating New Assistive Technologies" (46 citations), broadens the lens to examine how innovations might bridge persistent global access gaps in assistive technology, a field where limited resources leave many individuals underserved. Together, Abdi's publications have accumulated over 110 citations, signaling meaningful influence within gerontechnology and rehabilitation research communities. Her work is particularly valuable for policymakers, designers, and clinicians seeking evidence-informed pathways to deploy emerging technologies in socially impactful ways.
