About
Fannie Yeung is a leading researcher in geriatric technology and socially assistive robotics, with a primary focus on improving quality of life for people with dementia. Her most impactful work centers on the therapeutic use of PARO, a socially assistive pet robot designed to enhance emotional well-being and social engagement in elderly populations. Yeung’s landmark study, a randomized controlled trial protocol published in 2015, has garnered 154 citations, establishing her as a key figure in evidence-based robotics interventions for dementia care. Her research demonstrates how robotic companions can reduce agitation, elevate mood, and stimulate meaningful communication among individuals with cognitive decline, bridging the gap between technology and compassionate care. Yeung’s contributions have influenced both clinical practice and robotics design, highlighting the potential of non-pharmacological interventions in geriatric settings. Her work is widely cited by scholars in human-robot interaction, gerontology, and nursing, underscoring its interdisciplinary impact. Through rigorous methodology and patient-centered outcomes, Yeung continues to advance the field of socially assistive robotics, offering innovative solutions for aging populations worldwide.
