About
Yi Jiao Tian is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of gerontechnology, care ethics, and digital health innovation. Her scholarship focuses on how smart home technologies and social robotics can support older persons aging in place, while critically examining the social, ethical, and psychological dimensions of their adoption. Tian's most influential contribution — a qualitative investigation into technology acceptance models among older persons and caregivers — has already garnered 44 citations since 2024, meaningfully advancing frameworks like TAM and UTAUT by grounding them in the lived experiences of end-users. Her work on privacy concerns surrounding smart home health technologies (20 citations) and attitudes toward the social robot Paro in dementia care (19 citations) demonstrates a nuanced ability to hold technological promise alongside ethical complexity. Expanding her scope internationally, Tian has also examined robotic technology acceptance across a representative Swiss national sample and explored the unique caregiving dilemmas faced by transnational only-children using digital tools for distance caregiving. Together, her body of work positions her as a thoughtful and timely voice in debates about how societies can humanely and responsibly integrate technology into elder care.
