About

Dr. T. Gowda is a leading researcher in gerontechnology and ambient assisted living (AAL), focusing on how intelligent systems can support older adults with cognitive and physical impairments. Their most-cited work, a comprehensive 2019 review on AAL technologies (68 citations), critically examines the global challenge of an aging population—projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050—and highlights how 80% of this demographic will reside in developing countries. Gowda’s major contribution lies in synthesizing the intersection of assistive technologies, human-computer interaction, and healthcare, identifying key gaps in scalable, low-cost solutions for underserved regions. By mapping the landscape of sensors, smart home systems, and wearable devices, their review has become a foundational resource for researchers designing inclusive, context-aware interventions. Gowda’s work underscores the urgency of bridging technological innovation with real-world accessibility, making a tangible impact on policy and design for aging populations. Their research continues to shape how we approach dignified, independent living for older adults, earning recognition as a vital voice in the field of assistive technology and public health.
