About

Dr. Sarah Daniels is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, gerontechnology, and human-robot interaction. Her primary focus lies in developing conversational AI and affective social robots to monitor and enhance the health and well-being of people with dementia (PwD) and their caregivers. Her most cited work, “Conversational artificial intelligence and affective social robot for monitoring health and well‐being of people with dementia” (2021, 8 citations), introduces a novel framework for deploying anthropomorphised robots that use natural language processing to provide intuitive, accessible interfaces for individuals with varying cognitive abilities. This contribution is significant for its emphasis on emotional engagement and real-time health monitoring, addressing critical gaps in home-based dementia care. Dr. Daniels’ research is notable for its human-centered design, aiming to reduce caregiver burden while improving quality of life for PwD. Her work has been recognized for bridging technical innovation with compassionate care, positioning her as a key voice in the ethical deployment of social robots in healthcare. Her ongoing studies continue to shape how AI can support aging populations, making her a vital figure in the future of assistive technology.
