About
Masaru Matsumoto is a pioneering researcher in gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a focus on sustaining self-care behaviors among older adults. His major contribution lies in the development of integrated vital signs measurement systems using communication robots (CRs), such as the PALRO® platform, to wirelessly transmit health data like temperature and blood pressure. This work addresses critical motivational challenges in long-term healthcare, enabling older users to maintain independence through engaging, non-intrusive robotic assistance. His most-cited paper, "The Long-Term Use of Communication Robots by Users of Visiting Healthcare Services" (2025), has garnered 2 citations, reflecting emerging interest in this innovative approach. Matsumoto’s research bridges robotics and healthcare, demonstrating how socially assistive robots can enhance self-care adherence and reduce caregiver burden. His achievements include designing systems that seamlessly integrate into visiting healthcare services, offering a scalable solution for aging populations. For students and researchers, Matsumoto’s work exemplifies how interdisciplinary methods—combining engineering, human factors, and clinical practice—can transform aging care, making him a key figure in the future of assistive robotics.
