About

Rasita Vinay is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of assistive technology, artificial intelligence, and dementia care. Her research focuses on how digital tools — including applications, wearables, robots, and voice assistants — can meaningfully improve the quality of life for people living with dementia, a condition that remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Among her most notable contributions is the development of GRACE, an embodied voice assistant designed to deliver cognitive stimulation therapy, representing a pioneering step in a multi-year research agenda aimed at practical, technology-driven dementia interventions. Vinay has also produced rigorous methodological groundwork through her scoping review protocols examining the broader landscape of digital assistive technologies in dementia care, work that has already accumulated citations across multiple publication venues since 2023. While still in the early stages of her research career, her citation record reflects growing recognition within the field. Students and researchers exploring the role of human-computer interaction or AI in elder care will find Vinay's work an important and timely entry point into this rapidly evolving domain.
