About
Dr. Sarah E. Stream is a pioneering researcher in gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in deploying robotic systems to enhance care for older adults. Her most impactful work addresses the urgent need for remote presence in long-term care settings, as exemplified by her highly cited 2021 study, "A Robotic Device to Enhance Nursing Home Provider Telepresence During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic" (13 citations). This research demonstrated how telepresence robots can bridge critical gaps in healthcare delivery, allowing providers to maintain meaningful, real-time contact with residents when in-person visits are restricted. Dr. Stream’s contributions lie at the intersection of engineering design and clinical application, showing how simple, robust robotic platforms can reduce social isolation and improve care coordination. Her work has been recognized for its practical, scalable solutions to pressing public health challenges, offering a model for integrating technology into elder care that extends far beyond the pandemic. By prioritizing usability and caregiver needs, Dr. Stream’s research continues to shape the future of aging-in-place and remote healthcare delivery.
