About
Yiwen Shi is a researcher focused on the intersection of gerontology, robotics, and long-term care. Her work critically examines how technology can support aging populations, with a particular emphasis on the human factors that determine successful adoption. Her most cited paper, a 2025 scoping review on long-term care workers' perceptions of robot-assisted care, synthesizes current evidence on staff attitudes, concerns, and expectations regarding robotic assistance for older adults. This work is foundational for understanding the practical and ethical dimensions of deploying care robots in real-world settings. By centering the voices of frontline caregivers, Shi’s research highlights a crucial gap in the literature: the need to align technological development with the nuanced needs of both care recipients and providers. Her contributions are essential for guiding future design, policy, and implementation strategies in robot-assisted care, ensuring that innovation serves to augment—rather than undermine—the quality of human care.
