About

Dr. Hyejin Yu is a leading researcher in healthcare technology and patient safety, with a particular focus on fall prevention and the integration of robotic systems in clinical environments. Her most-cited work, "Perceived Usefulness of Robotic Technology for Patient Fall Prevention" (2024, 9 citations), applies the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to evaluate how healthcare providers perceive and adopt robotic tools for reducing patient falls and work-related injuries. This study bridges the gap between technological innovation and real-world clinical practice, offering critical insights into the usability and acceptability of emerging assistive technologies. Dr. Yu’s research has significant implications for improving patient outcomes and reducing occupational hazards in healthcare settings. By systematically assessing the perceived usefulness of robotic interventions, she has laid the groundwork for more effective implementation strategies in hospitals and long-term care facilities. Her work is widely cited by scholars in nursing informatics, human factors engineering, and patient safety research, reflecting its interdisciplinary impact. Dr. Yu continues to advance the field by exploring how technology can be seamlessly integrated into care workflows to enhance both patient and provider safety.
