About
Dr. Helen Meese is a leading voice in the ethical and secure integration of assistive robotics into healthcare, with a particular focus on supporting aging populations. Her research converges at the critical intersection of social robotics, sensor technology, and cybersecurity. In her highly cited 2024 study, "Social Robots and Sensors for Enhanced Aging at Home," she conducted a mixed-methods investigation demonstrating how social assistive robots (SARs) and monitoring technologies can significantly improve the well-being and independence of older adults, especially those facing mobility challenges and socioeconomic disadvantages. This work has garnered 7 citations, highlighting its immediate relevance to global aging challenges. Dr. Meese also addresses the critical vulnerability in this field through her 2023 paper, "Security and Privacy in Assistive Robotics," which outlines the pressing cybersecurity challenges for healthcare robotics. By pioneering research that ensures these life-enhancing technologies are both effective and secure, Dr. Meese is shaping a future where older adults can age in place with dignity, safety, and technological support.
