About

Dr. Megan Gresham Ulrich is a leading researcher in geriatric telehealth, dedicated to optimizing healthy independent living for older adults. Her work addresses the critical intersection of an aging population and a shortage of primary care providers, pioneering nurse-led interventions delivered through innovative technologies. Dr. Ulrich’s most cited studies, including her 2018 feasibility study (35 citations) and her subsequent evaluation of a telehealth robotic program (25 citations), have established foundational evidence for using telepresence systems to support aging in place. Her research rigorously assesses both clinical outcomes and user satisfaction, demonstrating how robotic platforms can extend the reach of nursing care while maintaining patient engagement. By proving the viability and acceptance of these technologies, Dr. Ulrich is shaping the future of remote geriatric care, offering scalable solutions that enhance independence and quality of life. Her work has significant implications for healthcare policy and practice, positioning her as a key voice in the movement toward technology-enabled, patient-centered aging services.
