About
Shabnam Hamidi is a leading researcher in human-centered design and assistive technologies, with a particular focus on supporting older adults and individuals with cognitive impairments. Her work bridges the gap between user needs and technological innovation, most notably through the TROUVE Project, which pioneered a co-conception process for developing an assistive device to track and locate misplaced everyday objects. This participatory approach, detailed in her highly cited 2016 paper (25 citations), exemplifies her commitment to inclusive design—ensuring that end-users are active collaborators in the creation of solutions that enhance daily living. Hamidi’s contributions have been instrumental in advancing the field of cognitive assistive technology, demonstrating how iterative, user-driven methodologies can yield practical tools that reduce stress and promote independence. Her research not only produces tangible devices but also establishes frameworks for ethical, empathetic innovation in aging and disability studies. With a growing body of work that continues to inform both academic discourse and real-world applications, Hamidi stands out as a thoughtful advocate for designing with, rather than for, vulnerable populations.
