About

Dr. Bo Ram Kim is a leading researcher in nursing robotics and geriatric care innovation, with a particular focus on the integration of assistive technologies into healthcare systems. Her seminal work, "Nurses’ needs for care robots in integrated nursing care services" (2018, 98 citations), is a landmark study that directly addresses the challenges posed by rapidly aging societies, such as South Korea, which is projected to become a super-aged society by 2030. In this highly cited paper, Dr. Kim systematically assessed nurses' perceptions and priorities for robotic care within integrated nursing frameworks, providing crucial evidence for the design and deployment of care robots that align with clinical needs. Her research bridges the gap between technological development and practical nursing demands, offering a roadmap for how robotic assistance can alleviate the burden on informal caregivers and enhance patient outcomes in hospital settings. Dr. Kim’s work is foundational for policymakers and healthcare professionals seeking to implement humane, efficient, and technology-supported elder care, establishing her as a pivotal voice in the future of nursing and gerontechnology.
