About
Jacki Liddle is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, gerontechnology, and cognitive health. Her work focuses on designing and evaluating digital and robotic systems to support the social and communicative well-being of older adults, particularly those living with dementia. A key contribution is her development of "Harlie" (Human and Robot Language Interaction Experiment), a smartphone-based chatbot designed to engage older community members in regular conversation. This work addresses the critical need for maintaining communication confidence as cognitive abilities decline, with her foundational 2016 paper on this topic garnering 10 citations. Liddle also explores the unique challenges of human-robot interaction, as seen in her 2019 study on using a social robot to conduct satisfaction surveys, which has earned 5 citations. Her research demonstrates a deep commitment to creating accessible, empathetic technologies that enhance quality of life for aging populations. By bridging robotics, mobile health, and dementia care, Liddle’s work provides practical insights for designing socially assistive agents that are both engaging and respectful of users’ cognitive needs.
