About
Vania Karami is a leading researcher at the intersection of geriatric care, human-robot interaction, and artificial intelligence. Her work focuses on developing socially assistive robots (SARs) to support individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease and other neurocognitive disorders. In her landmark 2024 scoping review, Karami systematically mapped the use of SARs for Alzheimer’s patients, highlighting their potential to alleviate caregiver burden and improve patient quality of life—a study that has already garnered 20 citations for its foundational insights. She also pioneered the integration of AI-powered communication into robotics for early dementia detection, as demonstrated in her 2022 paper. By combining machine learning with empathetic robotic interaction, Karami’s research enables non-invasive, real-time monitoring of cognitive decline. Her contributions are shaping a new paradigm in assistive technology, where robots serve not merely as tools but as compassionate companions. With a growing citation footprint and a clear translational focus, Karami is helping to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI and the pressing human need for dignified, supportive aging care.
