Research
I specialize in co-design and active aging, enhancing older adults' lives through technology that promotes meaning and purpose.
Current Projects
-
Collaborating on a robot design project centered on older adults' ikigai, involving community and care facilities to enrich their sense of fulfillment.
-
Working to strengthen the bond and enrich the lives of caregivers and care recipients, emphasizing shared purpose.
Past Projects
-
Investigated social media's role in boosting older adults' well-being and community engagement.
-
Explored the impact of social companion robots on alleviating loneliness and enhancing the daily lives of older adults.
