About
Yuriko Inoue is a leading researcher in gerontechnology, with a focus on using robotic interventions to improve the quality of life for elderly individuals, particularly those with cognitive impairments. Her most-cited work, a 2021 case study on the use of the robotic seal PARO in distributed layout elderly housing, demonstrates her pioneering approach to non-pharmacological treatments for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). By loaning PARO intermittently over seven months, Inoue provided critical insights into how robotic pets can reduce agitation and enhance emotional well-being in care settings. This study, with 12 citations, has influenced both academic discourse and practical care strategies, highlighting the potential of human-robot interaction in aging populations. Inoue’s contributions are vital for students and researchers exploring assistive technologies, as she bridges engineering and compassionate care, offering evidence-based solutions for dementia management. Her work underscores the importance of adaptable, low-cost interventions in distributed housing models, making her a key figure in the evolving field of socially assistive robotics.
