About

Yu-Tao Xiang is a leading researcher in geriatric mental health and elder care, with a particular focus on the intersection of technology and social welfare in China. His work addresses the critical issue of elder abuse, especially the underreported phenomenon of nanny-induced mistreatment, where untrained caregivers often lack professional oversight. Xiang’s 2025 study, “Older People Abuse in China: How Can Technologies Help?” proposes innovative technological interventions—such as monitoring systems and screening tools—to mitigate risks in home care settings. While still emerging, this work has already garnered attention for its timely relevance, as China’s aging population faces increasing vulnerabilities. Xiang’s broader contributions span psychiatric epidemiology, dementia care, and the evaluation of mental health services, with his papers collectively cited thousands of times. He is recognized for bridging clinical research with practical, policy-oriented solutions, making him a key voice in discussions on elder protection and digital health integration. His research not only highlights systemic gaps but also offers actionable pathways to safeguard older adults, positioning him as a vital scholar in global aging studies.
