About
Michael Todorovic is a prominent researcher specializing in gerontechnology, dementia care, and pain management, with a particular focus on the intersection of social robotics and aged care. His most influential contribution, a 2018 systematic review and meta-analysis on social robots for older adults, has garnered over 500 citations and established him as a leading authority on the psychological and physiological benefits of robotic companions in elder care settings. Much of his subsequent work centers on PARO, a therapeutic robotic seal, which Todorovic has rigorously investigated through multiple randomized controlled trials examining its effects on chronic pain, sleep quality, motor activity, and stress levels in people living with dementia. His innovative use of objective biomarkers — including salivary cortisol and AI-powered pain assessment tools like PainChek — reflects a commitment to methodological rigor in a traditionally difficult-to-measure population. With cumulative citations exceeding 680, Todorovic's research has meaningfully shaped clinical practice in residential aged care. His qualitative investigations into implementing these technologies further demonstrate his dedication to translating research findings into real-world healthcare solutions, making his work essential reading for clinicians, aged care professionals, and health technology researchers alike.
