About
Wen Wei Ang is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-computer interaction, gerontechnology, and assistive robotics. Her primary focus is on understanding how older adults and people with disabilities interact with emerging technologies, particularly mobile telepresence robots and digital health tools. Ang’s most notable contribution is a systematic mixed-studies review that unpacks older adults’ lived experiences with mobile telepresence robots, synthesizing qualitative and quantitative evidence to reveal both the benefits—such as enhanced social connection and autonomy—and the barriers, including usability challenges and privacy concerns. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 2 citations, signaling its early impact in shaping inclusive design guidelines for aging populations. Beyond this, Ang’s research often employs participatory methods, ensuring that end-users’ voices directly inform technology development. Her achievements include bridging the gap between engineering and social science, making her a key voice in the push for age-friendly innovation. For students and researchers, Ang’s work offers a model of how to conduct rigorous, human-centered studies that prioritize equity and real-world relevance in technology design.
