About
Bada Kang is a leading researcher in geriatric mental health, with a primary focus on developing and evaluating technology-based interventions for individuals living with dementia. Her work centers on the intersection of digital health and behavioral science, particularly addressing the challenging behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Kang’s major contribution is her comprehensive 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis on the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions using information and communication technologies (ICT) for BPSD, which has garnered 54 citations. This landmark study synthesized global evidence to demonstrate that ICT-based approaches—such as telehealth, mobile apps, and digital cognitive stimulation—can be affordable, cost-effective, and innovative solutions for managing distressing symptoms like agitation and depression, offering a critical alternative to medication. Her research has significant implications for improving quality of life for older adults and their caregivers, especially in underserved communities. Kang’s work is widely recognized for bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and compassionate, evidence-based dementia care, making her a pivotal voice in the future of geriatric nursing and digital health innovation.
