About
Anders Nordgren is a leading voice in the ethics of emerging care technologies, with a particular focus on assistive technologies for persons with dementia. His work navigates the complex intersection of patient autonomy, caregiving, and technological innovation. In his highly cited 2017 paper (26 citations), Nordgren addresses the critical challenge of "resistiveness" among dementia patients, offering ethical frameworks for responding when individuals refuse assistive devices like fall detectors or safety alarms. This work is essential for practitioners seeking to balance safety with respect for patient dignity. His earlier 2013 study (17 citations) established foundational guidelines for the "Interactive Ethical Assessment of Personal Health Monitoring," examining how smart devices, sensors, and robots can transform care outside traditional institutions. Nordgren’s major contribution lies in developing practical, ethically sound approaches to technology implementation that prioritize the patient’s voice and well-being. His research is indispensable for students and professionals in bioethics, gerontology, and health technology, providing a roadmap for responsible innovation in an aging society.
