About

Zahangir Khan is a researcher dedicated to addressing one of the defining challenges of the modern era: the ageing of the world’s population. His work focuses on co-designed technologies for elderly care, particularly integrating mobile robotics and passive RFID systems to enhance nighttime safety and support independent living. His most-cited paper, “Co-Designed Technology for Elderly Care: Mobile Robots and Passive RFID for Nighttime Safety” (2021), with 5 citations, exemplifies his commitment to developing practical, human-centered solutions that compensate for limited care resources. Khan’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how affordable, non-intrusive technologies can be combined to monitor and assist elderly individuals, reducing fall risks and improving quality of life without compromising privacy. His research bridges engineering and gerontology, emphasizing user involvement in the design process to ensure real-world applicability. While early in his career, Khan’s work has already garnered attention for its innovative approach to a pressing global issue. His achievements include pioneering the use of passive RFID tags—typically used for inventory tracking—as a low-cost sensing backbone for mobile robots, a novel application that promises scalable, accessible elderly care solutions.
