Research summary
AI-generated

This researcher studies how hospitals can better protect older adult patients, focusing on preventing falls, reducing the use of physical restraints and bed alarms, and improving care for patients with delirium and dementia during hospitalization. Work also extends into using socially assistive robots to support activity and social engagement among older adults. Much of the research examines how hospitals implement and sustain safety practices in real-world clinical settings, rather than in controlled lab conditions.
