Robotics and Dementia Care are Happening Now

Professor Wendy Moyle’s research focuses on finding evidence for best practice in care of older people and those with dementia. She has a keen interest in technologies, and, within a social robotics laboratory, she develops and evaluates assistive technologies and social robots. She works with a multidisciplinary team of researchers from Australia and internationally, from the UK and Japan. She has received several awards and leads a technology collaborative “The Australian Aged Care Technology Collaborative” that aims to increase efficiency, effectiveness and quality of care of older adults in ageing services through identification and adaptation of existing technologies and development of new technologies.
