About
Hwawoo Jeon is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, ontology engineering, and healthcare, with a primary focus on developing intelligent assistive systems for vulnerable populations. His work centers on two key areas: ontology-based care for persons with dementia (PwD) and heterogeneous robot-assisted services for infection control. Jeon’s major contributions include designing a home care service robot that leverages ontological knowledge to deliver personalized, context-aware support for early-stage dementia patients, addressing the complex behavioral and psychological symptoms of the condition. His 2018 paper on this topic has garnered 13 citations, reflecting its foundational impact. He further advanced this domain with an ontology-based dementia care support system (7 citations), which models patient symptoms, environments, and situations to aid caregivers in selecting appropriate interventions. More recently, Jeon has extended his expertise to pandemic response, developing a heterogeneous robot-assisted system for isolation wards to reduce infection risk and workload for medical personnel, as detailed in his 2023 usability study (4 citations). His work has been presented at notable venues, including the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, underscoring its relevance to both engineering and clinical communities.
