About
Dr. Do Kyun Kim is a leading scholar at the intersection of health communication, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction. His research critically examines how emerging technologies—particularly humanoid AI robots—are reshaping public trust and communication dynamics within healthcare systems. Dr. Kim’s most influential work, a 2021 study titled *“What if you have a humanoid AI robot doctor?”*, investigates the factors influencing public trust in AI-driven medical care in South Korea, garnering 14 citations and establishing a foundational framework for understanding patient acceptance of robotic providers. Building on this, his subsequent paper on the *“Communicative Development and Diffusion of Humanoid AI Robots for the Post-Pandemic Health Care System”* (5 citations) explores how anthropomorphized robots can be effectively integrated into health communication networks, particularly in the wake of global health crises. Through these contributions, Dr. Kim provides critical insights into the social and communicative prerequisites for successful AI adoption in medicine, addressing both technological diffusion and the human factors that determine its success. His work is essential reading for researchers and students interested in the future of patient-provider relationships, health technology assessment, and the ethical deployment of AI in public health.
