Meet the Panel
Associate Prof. Jenny Waycott | School of Computing and Information Systems at the University of Melbourne
Jenny Waycott is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing and Information Systems, The University of Melbourne, working in the interdisciplinary field of human-computer interaction. Much of her research aims to understand how new technologies can be designed and used to foster social wellbeing in later life. A/Prof Waycott leads a program of research that is examining how emerging technologies, such as virtual reality and social robots, are used by caregivers and older adults to provide social and emotional enrichment in later life, especially for people living in aged care. More broadly, A/Prof Waycott is interested in ethical issues associated with designing and evaluating new technologies, including AI, for use in sensitive settings such as aged care, where a respectful and empathetic approach is critical to ensure new technologies provide benefit without causing harm.
