Anna Winkler

Anna Winkler serves as a Research Associate at the Institute of Nursing Science and Practice, Paracelsus Medical University (PMU), where she focuses on technology-driven solutions for improving patient safety in nursing care. Her work bridges clinical practice and technological innovation, with particular emphasis on sensor-based monitoring systems and virtual agent applications.

Her primary research areas include:

• Pressure ulcer and fall prevention through sensor technology
• Implementation of virtual agent-assisted telecare systems
• User acceptance and experience with healthcare technologies in long-term care settings
• Integration of health information technology into nursing workflows

Dr. Winkler's scholarly output reveals a concentrated effort to systematically review emerging technologies for elderly care. Her scoping reviews consistently address implementation challenges, highlighting the gap between technological capabilities and practical clinical adoption. The research demonstrates growing sophistication in sensor applications, with recent work focusing on multi-modal monitoring systems that combine accelerometer data with environmental sensors to predict and prevent adverse events.

As an active contributor to major research initiatives including SensiCare (2023-2026), SCC: SeneCura Campus (2022-2025), and PiloTT-A (2020-2022), Dr. Winkler collaborates with interdisciplinary teams to develop and evaluate healthcare technologies. Her recent presentations at academic venues indicate growing recognition of her work in the field of nursing informatics and gerontechnology.
