About
Aniqa Rahman is a rising researcher at the intersection of geriatric psychiatry and socially assistive robotics, with a primary focus on evaluating how robotic interventions can support mental health care for older adults. Her most cited work, a 2021 scoping review, systematically aggregates current research on socially assistive robots in geriatric psychiatry, critically examining the outcome measures used and identifying critical gaps in the field. This review, which has garnered 19 citations, was particularly timely as it addressed the urgent need for remote, non-pharmacological support for elderly populations during the COVID-19 pandemic. By highlighting the lack of standardized assessment tools and the need for more robust, patient-centered metrics, Rahman’s contribution provides a foundational roadmap for future studies. Her work underscores the potential of robotics to alleviate loneliness, depression, and cognitive decline, while also cautioning against over-reliance on technology without rigorous evaluation. As a researcher, Rahman is helping to shape a more evidence-based approach to integrating robotics into geriatric mental health, making her a key voice in this emerging, interdisciplinary field.
