About

Miroslava Migovich is an emerging researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, assistive technology, and cognitive health, with a particular focus on designing socially assistive robots (SARs) for older adults living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. Her work is distinguished by a rigorous commitment to user-centered design methodologies, ensuring that technological interventions are meaningfully tailored to the needs of vulnerable populations in long-term care settings. Migovich's most-cited work (2022, 7 citations) demonstrates her iterative approach to developing robot-mediated paired activities for older adults with MCI, while her contributions to multimodal data collection tools and human-machine interaction system architecture reflect her technical breadth across the full research pipeline. Her involvement in a multi-site randomized clinical trial of SARs, currently underway as of 2025, signals her growing role in translating research prototypes into evidence-based clinical interventions. Across her body of work, Migovich consistently addresses the practical challenge of supplementing strained long-term care staff resources through intelligent, engaging technology. With nearly 20 citations accumulated in just a few years, she represents a promising voice in the effort to combat apathy and cognitive decline through compassionate, human-centered innovation.
