About
Shu-Ling Lin is a leading researcher in gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on using socially assistive robots (SARs) to improve the quality of life for older adults, particularly those living with dementia. Her major contributions include a landmark systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, which rigorously evaluated the immediate and long-term effects of SARs on neuropsychiatric symptoms, behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, positive emotional experiences, and social interaction in long-term care facilities. This work, which has garnered 41 citations since its 2023 publication, provides critical evidence for the clinical application of robotic interventions in dementia care. Lin’s research bridges engineering, psychology, and geriatric medicine, offering practical insights for designing non-pharmacological therapies that enhance emotional well-being and social engagement among vulnerable populations. Her findings are widely referenced by clinicians, roboticists, and policymakers, positioning her as a key voice in the ethical and effective deployment of assistive technologies. Through her rigorous methodology and compassionate focus, Lin continues to shape how technology can support dignified aging.
