About
Priyesh Tiwari is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of assistive robotics, healthcare technology, and gerontology, with a particular focus on developing intelligent robotic systems to support older adults in independent and assisted living environments. Working within the multidisciplinary Healthbots research project at the University of Auckland, Tiwari has made significant contributions to the design and deployment of mobile service robots tailored to the unique physical and cognitive needs of elderly populations. His most influential work, "Deployment of a service robot to help older people" (2010), garnered 77 citations and introduced one of the earliest practical frameworks for human-robot interaction in aged care settings. Tiwari has also pioneered research into robotic medication management, exploring closed-loop systems, adverse drug reaction monitoring, and end-user programming to enhance medication safety and clinical efficacy — challenges of profound importance given the complexity of geriatric pharmacotherapy. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 170 across his key publications, his interdisciplinary approach — bridging robotics, computer science, and population health — has meaningfully advanced the conversation around technology-driven elder care and positioned healthcare robots as viable, compassionate tools for an aging global population.
