About

Dr. Yongqi Tan’s research lies at the vital intersection of assistive technology, gerontechnology, and inclusive design, with a focus on improving quality of life for older adults and individuals with disabilities. His most cited work, “Discernment on assistive technology for the care and support requirements of older adults and differently-abled individuals” (2023, 26 citations), provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how adaptive and rehabilitative devices can foster independence in mobility, education, and daily living. Tan’s contributions are distinguished by their holistic approach—not merely cataloging technological advances, but critically evaluating how these tools address real-world care and support needs. His scholarship emphasizes the importance of user-centered design and the socio-technical factors that determine successful adoption. By synthesizing evidence on assistive technologies ranging from mobility aids to communication devices, Tan has helped shape a more nuanced discourse on aging and disability support. His work is particularly notable for bridging engineering solutions with social care requirements, making it essential reading for researchers in human-computer interaction, rehabilitation engineering, and public health policy. With a growing citation impact, Tan continues to influence how we design and deploy technologies that empower vulnerable populations to lead more self-reliant, dignified lives.
