About

Shusei Hashide is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and dementia care, whose work focuses on leveraging socially assistive robots to improve emotional well-being in older adults. His most-cited study, "Positive Emotional Responses to Socially Assistive Robots in People With Dementia: Pilot Study" (2024, 21 citations), demonstrates how robotic interventions can evoke immediate positive emotions, reduce apathy, and mitigate agitation—a critical contribution to non-pharmacological dementia care. By systematically analyzing real-time emotional responses, Hashide provides empirical evidence that robots can serve as effective tools for enhancing quality of life, offering a scalable alternative to traditional caregiver-intensive methods. His research bridges robotics, psychology, and gerontology, emphasizing the importance of designing empathetic, responsive technologies. Hashide’s work has been recognized for its practical impact, informing the development of affordable, user-friendly robots for care settings. With a growing citation footprint, he is shaping how we understand and implement technology to address the emotional needs of vulnerable populations, making him a key voice in the future of assistive robotics and dementia support.
