About
Charles Scerri is a leading researcher in gerontology and dementia care, with a particular focus on the intersection of technology and psychosocial interventions for persons living with dementia. His work critically examines how innovative tools, such as pet robots, can enhance quality of life in long-term care settings. Scerri’s most cited paper, a meta-ethnography published in 2020, systematically synthesizes international research to explore formal caregivers’ perceptions and experiences of using pet robots for dementia care. This study, with 34 citations, reveals both the therapeutic potential and the practical challenges of integrating robotic companions into care routines, highlighting factors such as staff attitudes, training needs, and ethical considerations. By bridging evidence-based practice with real-world caregiving contexts, Scerri has contributed valuable insights into how technology can support—rather than replace—human connection in dementia care. His work is widely recognized for its methodological rigor and its implications for improving person-centered care. For students and researchers, Scerri’s research offers a compelling model for studying the human dimensions of emerging health technologies.
