Research summary
AI-generated

Kay Connelly works in human-computer interaction, focusing on how people—especially older adults and people managing chronic health conditions—use technology in everyday life. Her research designs and evaluates digital health tools such as mobile health apps, smart home systems, and wearable activity trackers, and studies the practical and ethical challenges of doing this research with diverse groups. Recent projects also examine how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the independence, social support, and daily activities of older and rural populations.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
