About
Dr. Teruko Doi is a pioneering researcher in the field of human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise on the application of communication robots in geriatric care settings. Her work specifically addresses the integration of robotic technologies into recreational activities for elderly residents, particularly those with dementia, at nursing homes. Dr. Doi’s major contributions lie in empirically assessing the effectiveness and acceptance of these robots, employing innovative methodologies such as Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) to evaluate their impact on residents’ well-being and engagement. Her seminal 2016 study, "Assessing the Use of Communication Robots for Recreational Activities at Nursing Homes Based on Dementia Care Mapping," has garnered 4 citations, while her complementary survey-based research from the same year has received 3 citations. Though her citation counts reflect the niche and emerging nature of this field, her work is foundational in demonstrating how socially assistive robots can enhance quality of life for the elderly. Dr. Doi’s research bridges robotics, healthcare, and human-centered design, offering practical insights for caregivers and technologists aiming to create more compassionate, interactive environments for aging populations.
