Safe and Trustworthy AI in Home Health Care Work: A team including Nicola Dell, Deborah Estrin, Madeline Sterling and Ariel Avgar will investigate the trust, safety, and privacy challenges related to implementing artificial intelligence (AI) in home health care.

Home health aides (HHAs) are vulnerable to stress, isolation and depressive symptoms, which impact their own health as well as their patients’ desire to age in place, according to new research co-authored by Professor Ariel Avgar.

In this episode of the PALTtalk podcast, Geoffrey Gusoff, M.D., M.B.A., M.S. talks about his study on enhancing the workforce via improving home care workers’ voices.  

On the "A Question of Care" podcast, Madeline Sterling, M.D., talks about her studies on home care workers, what they reveal about this job sector and how the U.S. should transform these jobs to benefit everyone.

Dr. Madeline Sterling works with adults who suffer from chronic conditions. The main focus of her research is to find ways to empower the home health aide workforce while improving patient care.

Paid home care workers are helping patients manage chronic conditions and promoting general and mental health – going well beyond the personal care contributions for which they have been historically associated, according to new Cornell research.

Caregivers and home health aides are at increased risk for depression and anxiety. Dr. Madeline Sterling, assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine, explains how to support the caregivers.

Professor Ariel Avgar, Ph.D. ’08 is part of an ambitious, multidisciplinary research program aimed at elevating the value of home care workers.

Dr. Madeline Sterling, a physician and researcher at Weill Cornell Medicine, started a program that specializes in helping home health aides teach patients be healthier, from reminding them to take their medication to teaching them about maintaining a healthy diet and identifying the warning signs for heart failure.

New cross-campus research from Ariel Avgar and Weill Cornell Medicine shows that home care workers who have been trained in heart failure are more satisfied with their jobs and feel more prepared and confident working with heart failure patients.

Tech tools for invisible, but essential, home health care workers are being developed by a Cornell Tech, Weill Cornell Medicine and ILR team that includes Associate Dean Ariel Avgar as a co-principal investigator.
