About
Hyun-Kyung Do is a leading voice in nursing robotics and gerontechnology, with a research focus on integrating intelligent systems into clinical care environments. Her most cited work, “Nurses’ needs for care robots in integrated nursing care services” (2018, 98 citations), is a landmark study that directly addressed the impending challenges of South Korea’s super-aged society. By systematically surveying nurses, Do identified critical gaps in current care models and established a clear priority framework for robotic assistance—moving beyond general automation to specify which tasks (e.g., lifting, monitoring, or psychosocial support) are most needed from a nursing perspective. This contribution has shaped subsequent policy discussions and technology development roadmaps in integrated nursing care. Her research bridges human-centered design with practical implementation, ensuring that robotic solutions augment rather than replace the human touch. With a growing citation impact, Do’s work continues to influence how healthcare systems prepare for demographic shifts, making her a pivotal figure in the conversation around sustainable, technology-enabled elder care.
