About
Seonhye Lee’s research lies at the vital intersection of geriatric care and human-robot interaction, focusing on how socially assistive robots can improve the lives of people with dementia. Her meta-analytic work, notably “Effect of Socially Assistive Robot Intervention on People with Dementia,” synthesizes evidence to demonstrate the therapeutic potential of robotic companions in reducing caregiver burden and enhancing patient well-being. By rigorously evaluating intervention outcomes, Lee has provided a quantitative foundation for integrating robotics into dementia care—a field where demand is skyrocketing as the global population ages. Her contributions are especially timely given dementia’s ranking as the ninth most burdensome illness worldwide, and her analyses help clinicians and technologists design more effective, empathetic tools. With her work cited in both robotics and healthcare literature, Lee is shaping how we think about technology not as a replacement for human care, but as a supportive partner in aging and cognitive decline. Her research offers a compelling vision for a future where robots are not just functional, but socially and emotionally attuned to those who need them most.
