Nuria Ortiz Marques

Nuria Ortiz Marques is a Researcher in the Department of Psychology at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Deusto, specializing in clinical applications for aging populations and neurological rehabilitation. Her work bridges neuropsychological assessment, gerontological interventions, and organizational psychology through evidence-based research and community implementation.

Her research spans clinical psychology, neuropsychology, and gerontology with emphases on stroke rehabilitation, cognitive aging, caregiver burden, and technology-mediated interventions. Key interests include validating assessment tools (e.g., Caregiver Risk Screen), examining Nintendo Wii's therapeutic applications for stroke patients and elderly populations, and investigating job crafting dynamics in workplace psychology. Her methodological approach combines psychometric validation, longitudinal studies, and community-based participatory research.

Analysis of her 11 most recent publications reveals strong thematic convergence around three domains: neurorehabilitation technology (particularly video game-based cognitive/physical interventions), psychometric tool development for vulnerable populations, and workplace psychology applications for aging workforces. Her work consistently prioritizes practical implementation in real-world settings like age-friendly cities initiatives.

Dr. Ortiz Marques has directed doctoral theses on Nintendo Wii interventions for stroke rehabilitation and job crafting mechanisms, while securing competitive funding from the European Commission (SMARTHEALTH project), Basque Government, and municipal partnerships. Her collaborative network spans municipal governments, healthcare institutions, and international research consortia focused on active aging.

She actively participates in multidisciplinary teams through the University of Deusto's Age-Friendly Cities initiatives, collaborating with municipal planners, healthcare providers, and elderly communities to implement WHO frameworks. Current projects emphasize technology integration for social participation and combating loneliness among elderly populations through community empowerment strategies.
